  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Solutions of the radiative transfer equation are used to derive relationships of water reflectance to the diffuse attenuation coefficient (K) in moderately turbid water (K &amp;gt; 0.5 m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;). Data sets collected from the NOAA AVHRR and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;in situ&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;observations from five different dates confirm the appropriateness of these relationships, in particular the logistic equation. Values of K calculated from the reflectance data agree to within 60% of the observed values, although the reflectance derived using a more comprehensive aerosol correction is sensitive to chlorophyll concentrations greater than 50 μg L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;−1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Agreement between&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;in situ&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and remote observations improves as the time interval between samples is narrowed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
