abstract = {The optically complex properties of NE Aegean Sea were studied during the AegeanMarTech project. Simultaneous above and in-water ocean colour measurements were validated with chlorophyll concentration field data and compared against concurrent MODIS images. It was found that the Med-OC3 algorithm outperforms the operational OC3M-547 algorithm and produces the least bias when compared against HPLC derived in situ [Chl]. Satellite derived concentrations tend to underestimate [Chl] by >10% at best, the greatest uncertainty arising due to CDOM absorption below the 488 nm band. Relevant reflectance ratios indicated that there is always an excess of yellow mater present in the study area and the water type could not be characterized optically as " typical open ocean " Case 1. Further investigation is under way.},
