Hi Giancarlo,

Regarding your posting on remote sensing work in the Egyptian Red Sea and water 
column optical properties, I have worked in the Southern Red Sea in the El 
Quesier – Marsa Alam area and the following papers maybe of interest:

Purkis SJ, Kenter JAM, Oikonomou EK, Robinson IS (2002) High-resolution ground 
verification, cluster analysis and optical model of reef substrate coverage on 
Landsat TM imagery (Red Sea, Egypt). International Journal of Remote Sensing 
23:1677-1698

Purkis SJ, Pasterkamp J (2004) Integrating in situ reef-top reflectance spectra 
with Landsat TM imagery to aid shallow-tropical benthic habitat mapping. Coral 
Reefs 23:5-2

Hope that helps,

Sam
