| Summary: | <p>The SeaSWIR dataset consists of 137 ASD (Analytical Spectral Devices, Inc.)
marine reflectances, 137 total suspended matter (TSM) measurements and 97
turbidity measurements gathered at three turbid estuarine sites (Gironde, La
Plata, Scheldt). The dataset is valuable because of the high-quality
measurements of the marine reflectance in the Short Wave InfraRed I region
(SWIR-I: 1000–1200 nm) and SWIR-II (1200–1300 nm) and
because of the wide range of TSM concentrations from 48 up to
1400 mg L<sup>−1</sup>. The ASD measurements were gathered using a detailed
measurement protocol and were subjected to a strict quality control. The
SeaSWIR marine reflectance is characterized by low reflectance at short
wavelengths ( < 450 nm), peak reflectance values between 600 and
720 nm and significant contributions in the near-infrared (NIR) and
SWIR-I parts of the spectrum. Comparison of the ASD water reflectance with
simultaneously acquired reflectance from a three-radiometer system revealed a
correlation of 0.98 for short wavelengths (412, 490 and 555 nm) and
0.93 for long wavelengths (686, 780 and 865 nm). The relationship
between TSM and turbidity (for all sites) is linear, with a correlation
coefficient of 0.96.</p><p>The SeaSWIR dataset has been made publicly available
