The satellite remote sensing reflectance (Rrs(λ)) at two short blue bands (410 or 412 nm and 443 nm) are prone to large uncertainties in coastal and inland waters, prohibiting algorithms from generating reliable ocean color products associated with these bands. In this study, we developed an algorit...
