The model is based on the dependency of absorption and backscatter coefficients on the constituent concentrations. A fundamental remote sensing equation is rewritten to a regression model which is used to estimate the concentrations of {CHL} and {TSM}. A weighted regression analysis is performed and the weights are determined as the weights chosen in a partial least squares (PLS) or canonical covariance analysis of in situ measurements of {CHL,} {TSM} and {CDOM} with in situ spectra in the 400-730 nm region. Resampled weights are used with geometrically corrected and calibrated airborne optical casi data to produce maps of jointly estimated {CHL} and {TSM} contents. Also, considerations to give a better understanding of the {PLS} technique than offered by the {NIPALS} algorithm are given and canonical correlations analysis is briefly described." }
