Abstract

This dataset provides spatially and temporally resolved estimates of surface water turbidity for Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada. Turbidity is derived from satellite remote sensing observations using calibrated spectral band ratios and machine-learning–based retrieval approaches applied to atmospherically corrected surface reflectance data.The data span multiple open-water seasons and are gridded at satellite native resolution, with values reported in nephelometric turbidity units (NTU)
