The paper presents the results of testing the possibility of using empirical orthogonal functions to develop algorithms for estimating the concentration of chlorophyll a and suspended matter, the biomass of cyanobacteria in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland. To develop the algorithms, we used an array of data from field measurements of the subsurface radiance reflectance in 2012–2014, carried out simultaneously with the determination of bio-optical characteristics. It turned out that in th
