State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science ( Xiamen University), 2. Deprtment of Oceanography,Xiamen ,China) Abstract : This article employs SeaWiFS data over the Taiwan Strait to evaluate a semi2analytical algorithm for euphotic zone depth. This algorithm is based on water s inherent optical properties ( IOP),which can be near2analytically calculated from spectral remote2sensing reflectance (provided by SeaWiFS). Compared with in situ Zeu ( 2 h),average error is %,root mean square is and correlation coefficient is It has higher accuracy compared to chlorophyll2a approach (average error is %,root mean square is ,correlation coefficient is 0. 56). It is found that the new algorithm not only worked well with waters of the Gulf of Mexico Monterey Bay and Arabian Sea,but also worked well with waters of the Taiwan Strait. Key words : Taiwan Strait ;euphotic zone depth ;remote sensing quasi2analytical algorithm ;chlorophyll
