We test a method for calculating the colour of the sea, as measured on the traditional Forel-Ule (FU) scale, from satellite remote sensing measurements of reflectance. Forel-Ule colour scale numbers are calculated from 46 in situ radiometer profiles in the Mozambique channel and Irish Sea and compar...
