Abstract—The results of the development and field testing of a compact high-speed deck spectroradiometer for remote sensing reflectance measurements are presented. Validation using data obtained with hydrooptical equipment showed that the new device makes it possible to measure data on remote sensing reflectance with an accuracy sufficient for calculating bio-optical characteristics. Based on the data obtained during field tests of the new device, processed using regional algorithms, the values of the bio-optical characteristics of the Kara and Black seas surface waters were quantitatively assessed.
