An approach is developed using the coupled mode theory and the perturbation theory for the Maxwell equations. The correctness of obtained formulas is checked against the full-wave numerical simulations performed by the COMSOL Multiphysics electromagnetic solver. In particular, the obtained formulas can be used for revealing optical features of realistic (i.e., consisting of a finite number of resonators) all-dielectric metasurfaces with arbitrary curved shapes.Current methods to retrieve optically relevant properties from ocean color observations do not explicitly make use of prior knowledge about property distributions. Here we implement a simplified Bayesian approach that takes into account prior probability distributions on two sets of five optically relevant parameters, and conduct a retrieval of these parameters using hyperspectral simulated water-leaving reflectances. We focus specifically on the ability of the model to distinguish between two optically similar phytoplankton taxa, diatoms and Noctiluca scintillans. The inversion retrieval gives most-likely concentrations and uncertainty estimates, and we find that the model is able to probabilistically predict the occurrence of Noctiluca scintillans blooms using these metrics. We discuss how this method can be expanded to include a priori covariances between different parameters, and show the effect of varying measurement uncertainty and spectral resolution on Noctiluca scintillans bloom predictions.In this paper, a novel and efficient approach for solving the beam propagation method (BPM) governing equation is proposed. The approach is based on the reformulation of the beam propag
