    Abstract

    An assessment of Landsat TM data as a tool for monitoring south-western Australian coastal waters and estuaries for surface chlorophyll concentration and Secchi disk depth (a measure of the water clarity) was undertaken using Cockburn Sound and Peel-Harvey Estuary as study sites. Algorithms have been developed using satellite received radiance, corrected for atmospheric effects and water quality data obtained at the time of the satellite overpass. It is shown that in both of these systems a high confidence may be placed on the predictions using these algorithms and therefore offers a cost-effective tool for complimenting regular monitoring programs.
