The goal of this project is to quantify the reliability of remotely sensed turbidity products for use in the Kimberley region. There are two specific objectives. 1: Analyze uncertainties of remotely sensed turbidity products by comparison of different algorithms and different resolution products with each other and with archived in situ data 2: Analyze time series of remotely sensed turbidity data to provide first-stage pilot products that may be applicable for future use as marine management tools. The deliverables are:

Analysis of ensemble variability between different algorithms; Assessment of sub-km scale variability from comparison with high-resolution products; Quantification of uncertainty from comparison with archived in situ data; Maps of turbidity "hotspot" regions (i.e. regions of frequently occurring high turbidity events and regions of extreme variability).; Alternative: Maps of different turbidity regimes (e.g. permanently high turbidity, frequent turbid events, infrequent turbid events, persistently clear water).; Turbidity indicator products (e.g. days above a set turbidity threshold)
