AI-generated Abstract

This research explores the use of Sentinel-2 satellite data and in situ spectral reflectance measurements to analyze the trophic quality of seawaters in three ports along the Tuscan Tyrrhenian coast: Viareggio, Livorno, and Civitavecchia. The study applies various atmospheric correction methods, including SEN2COR, ACOLITE, and C2RCC, to retrieve spectral information and validate it against in situ measurements. Findings indicate significant correlations between total light attenuating substances and other spectral classes, with C2RCC identified as the most effective method for assessing the trophic status of port seawaters.
