    In this study, the bio-physical parameters associated with water quality of Florida Bay were investigated based on atmospherically corrected data. The principal objective of this study was to monitor and assess the spatial and temporal changes of four water quality parameters: turbidity, chlorophyll-a (chl-a), total phosphate, and total nitrogen (TN), using the application of integrated remote sensing, GIS data, and statistical techniques. For this purpose, two dates of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data in 2000 (February 13), 2007 (January 31), and one date of Landsat Operational Land Imager (OLI) in 2015 (January 5) in the dry season, and two dates of TM data in 2000 (August 7), 2007 (September 28), and one date of OLI data in 2015 (September 2) in the wet season of the subtropical climate of South Florida, were used to assess temporal and spatial patterns and dimensions of studied p..
