Remote sensing and bio-geo-optical properties of turbid, productive inland waters: a case study of Lake Balaton

MODIS Based Estimation of Forest Aboveground Biomass in China

Accurate estimation of forest biomass C stock is essential to understand carbon cycles. However, current estimates of Chinese forest biomass are mostly based on inventory-based timber volumes and empirical conversion factors at the provincial scale, which could introduce large uncertainties in forest biomass estimation. Here we provide a data-driven estimate of Chinese forest aboveground biomas...

Absorption Properties of Dissolved and Particulate Matter in Turbid Productive Inland Lakes

The absorption coefficient of natural waters, a, is defined as the fraction of monochromatic collimated light that is absorbed per unit of path length by an infinitesimally small volume of water (Preisendorfer, 1976). a depends on wavelength and is an inherent optical property, i.e. it depends exclusively on the characteristics of the optical medium and not on the geometric structure of the lig...

Absorption and backscattering coefficients and their relations to water constituents of Poyang Lake, China.

The measurement and analysis of inherent optical properties (IOPs) of the main water constituents are necessary for remote-sensing-based water quality estimation and other ecological studies of lakes. This study aimed to measure and analyze the absorption and backscattering coefficients of the main water constituents and, further, to analyze their relations to the water constituent concentratio...
