The first results of experimental research into relations between the diffuse reflectance spectra of seawater and the concentrations of chlorophyll and total suspended mater in the surface layer are presented.The results allowed the preliminary classification of these waters into two basic groups, which differ from each other in the maximum reflectance and in the concentration ranges of total suspended matter.Each of the basic groups can be divided into two sub-groups, differing in the shape of the reflectance spectrum (defining the water colour), chlorophyll concentration and the level of correlation between concentrations of chloriophyll and total suspended matter.On the basis of above data a local algorithm for the radiometric estimation of chlorophyll content in the surface layer of the BAltic is also developed and presentes.
