N2 - A time series was conducted in the Menai Strait from March to December 1996 combining optical measurements by a colour sensor with measurements of light-absorbing constituents in the water. In order to improve estimations of pigment concentration in Case-2 waters, an optical model was used to synthesize the spectrum of sea-leaving radiance from the absorption properties of pure sea water, yellow substances, mineral suspended solids and phytoplankton. The original model was tested and improved by using a different set of parameters. Multiple regression was used to empirically relate colour ratios to pigments and total suspended solids.
