The spatial and temporal variability of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea coastal waters has remained challenging to understand among researchers. Here, for the first time in the region, we parametrized SPM concentration in the study area utilizing derived remote sensing reflectance (Rᵣₛ) values from Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), using 555 and 667 nm wavelengths. Likewise, the findings showed that the developed optical model based on the optical ratio of Rᵣₛ (667)/Rᵣₛ (555) was sensitive to the concentration of Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the seawater, within the visible wavelengths less than 600 nm. Comparing the new estimates of the SPM concentration with in situ measurements by Spearman's Rank correlation for validation revealed that the association between estimated and measured SPM concentration would be considered statistically significant (ρ up to 0.86, p < 0.05). This study increased the average accuracy of the estimates up to 73%.
