We then compare these algorithms with a multiband retrieval algorithm that was developed using neural networks (NN) and which was trained on simulated data generated through bio-optical modeling typical for a broad range of coastal water parameters, including those known for the Chesapeake Bay. This NN algorithm was then applied to our field measurements and used to retrieve the phytoplankton absorption at 443nm which was then related to [Chl-a]. In this process, special attention was paid to field data consistency in terms of both measured reflectance and [Chl-a] values, to avoid undesirable biases and trends. All algorithm retrievals were finally evaluated by several statistical indicators to arrive at their relative merits and potential for further improvements and application to satellite data.
