Increasing attention is being given to the determination of the bioproductivity of seas and oceans using remote aerial survey methods. This paper investigates correlations between the content of phytoplankton and other forms of biomass and the brightness of radiation subsequently emitted from the water. An optical model is used that accounts for the spectral properties of the water and the dissolved organisms and hydrosols. The coefficient of spectral brightness is calculated with an approximation equation which incorporates the survival probability of a photon and the indices of scattering and attenuation by an elementary volume of sea water.
