I want to calculate Suspended Sediment Concentration from the LANDSAT-MSS, LANDSAT-TM, LANDSAT-OLI images. There is a variation in the distribution of SSC in my study area. I want to develop a gradient map of SSC from each of the LANDSAT images. Would you like to tell me the methods of estimating SSC from the LANDSAT images in ArcMap 10.3 version?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Supriti,
Just for your information.
You may aware of the fact that atmospheric correction of satellite imagery is necessary before using them for ocean color remote sensing. This task can be achieved by commercially available software such as ENVI FLAASH (works for all Landsat sensors) or freely available softwares such as SeaDAS (for Landsat 8 OLI). Many researchers also use reflectance at the top-of-atmosphere which does not require atmospheric correction procedure (personally I would not recommend that).
Next requirement is a suitable relationship between Landsat bands and in situ SSC concentrations. Try combinations of Landsat green, red, and NIR bands. Once you have reasonable algorithm and Landsat imagery, you can generate nice maps of SSC using SeaDAS.
checkout this publication. Although it maps turbidity ( a proxy for SSC), similar procedure can also be used for SSC.
