If you mix equal parts green and blue light what color will result?

You have been contacted by an environmental consulting firm that is tasked with extracting water quality information from high resolution satellite-based imagery. The GIS analysts at the firm have received the imagery, but are unable to determine which wavelength bands/image layers would best suit their needs.  They have asked you for guidance.   Identify the energy-water budget variable AND the wavelength(s)/band(s) that would best help them identify the following variables.   Feature of Interest Variable Wavelength(s) Land/water boundary:     Suspended sediments:      Algae/phytoplankton presence:     Water depth:    

Which energy-water budget term corresponds to radiance that never reaches the water surface?

Which part of the leaf structure has the largest influence over the amount of visible light reflected?
