Validation of algorithms for the retrieval of concentrations of chlorophyll (Chl) and total suspended matter (TSM) in the Gulf of Finland from satellite ocean colour data was carried out using field measurement data from summer 2012 and 2013. These data included spectral values of the remote sensing reflectance Rrs(λ), Chl and TSM concentrations. Testing of the existing algorithms (OC4v4, OC3M, and the Baltic regional algorithms developed by Polish specialists) showed that all of them overestimated Chl several times. The new regional algorithms were developed on the basis of measured values of Rrs(λ), Chl and TSM (40 stations in total). Direct comparison of Chl and TSM values, obtained from MODISAqua data with the algorithms developed here, with their in situ values showed reasonable agreement. The spatial distributions of Chl and TSM concentrations were constructed from MODIS-Aqua data. Errors of the atmospheric correction were analysed.
