Abstract
Suspended sediments affect aquatic environment. In the visible range the suspended sediment concentration can be correlated with reflectance level. A ratio of Landsat MSS bands is used to develop model for evaluation of suspended sediment concentration. A six level color coded contour map of surface distribution of suspended sediments off Saurashtra coast in Arabian sea is obtained using the proposed model.
