Abstract- A new satellite-nonspecific algorithm for a simultaneous retrieval of content of such water quality proxies as phytoplankton chlorophyll (chl), suspended minerals (sm) and dissolved organics (doc) has been developed and applied for the surveillance of spatial and temporal dynamic in the water quality and productivity in the White Sea. Infrared and visible data were used to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of water surface temperature and expressions of some hydrodynamic dynamic phenomena. The spaceborne data were backed up by shipborne in situ data as well as by hydrodynamic and biological numerical modeling. As a result, the conjointly analyzed multifaceted data constituted a veritable synergistic approach providing a considerably more adequate insight into a variety of in-water processes
