Abstract
Environmental monitoring through the method of traditional ship sampling is time consuming and requires a high survey cost. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between total suspended solids (TSS) and satellite THEOS data by using a calibrated algorithm. The study area is the seawater region around Penang Island, Malaysia. Water-quality TSS values were collected simultaneously during the acquisition of the satellite imagery and later analyzed in the laboratory.
