Abstract

The characteristics of multispectral satellite imaging system aboard Russian meteorological spacecrafts "Meteor-M" No. 1 and "Meteor-M" No. 2 are given. It is proposed an algorithm for calculation of the total suspended matter on the base of data of the MSU-100 camera on Meteor-M satellites No. 2, which provided by Roscosmos through open data portal. Total suspended matter concentration for some areas of the Azov and Black Seas and their comparison with the field measurement data are given.
