The article considers the period of influence of the tropical storm Ophelia on the optical characteristics obtained for the Black Sea region. Over the Black Sea on 18.10.2017-19.10.2017 the transfer of air flows from the northwest was recorded, which contained particles like dust aerosol from the Sahara desert, and smoke particles from fires from the Iberian Peninsula. Analysis of the dust-smoke combined type aerosol influence on the results of satellite spectral brightness coefficient over the Black Sea water area according to MODIS and VIIRS measurements showed an underestimation of the values of Rrs(λ) in the short-wave region compared to in situ data obtained at the western Black Sea stations of the AERONET network.
