Bio-optical data for Australian Inland Waters v.1

This collection is comprised of bio-optical measurements for a wide range of Australian inland waterbodies. The data was collected to describe the variation in bio-optical properties in Australian waterbodies. These data are able to be used for validation and development of inversion algorithms. \nLineage: The data were collected using a combination of in situ measurements and laboratory analysis. See the readme file for details.\nThe following data were obtained from laboratory analysis of in situ surface samples:\nAbsorption, TSS, phytoplankton pigments, organic carbon.\nThe following data were obtained from in situ measurements:\nBackscattering, radiometric measurements. \nAbsorption - Laboratory analysis of in situ surface samples \nBackscattering - in situ surface measurements \nTSS -
