Spectral reflectance of coral reef bottom-types worldwide and implications for coral reef remote sensing
Coral reef benthic communities are mosaics of individual bottom-types that are distinguished by their taxonomic composition and functional roles in the ecosystem. Knowledge of community structure is essential to understanding many reef processes. To develop techniques for identification and mapping of reef bottom-types using remote sensing, we measured 13,100 in situ optical reflectance spectra...
متن کاملSingle-beam acoustic remote sensing for coral reef mapping
Several commercial single-beam acoustic seabed mapping systems have come to market in the last decade, but the potential for mapping coral reef habitats with these systems has not been systematically documented. Three datasets from the Florida Keys, USA, and the Bahamas, all acquired by a Quester Tangent Series V (QTCV), revealed that rock and sediment were reliably distinguished across multipl...
متن کاملAutonomous Coral Reef Survey in Support of Remote Sensing
An autonomous surface vehicle instrumented with optical and acoustical sensors was deployed in Kane’ohe Bay, HI, U.S.A., to provide high-resolution, in situ observations of coral reef reflectancewithminimal human presence. The data represented awide range in bottom type, water depth, and illumination and supported more thorough investigations of remote sensing methods for identifying and mappin...
متن کاملWater Column Correction for Coral Reef Studies by Remote Sensing
Human activity and natural climate trends constitute a major threat to coral reefs worldwide. Models predict a significant reduction in reef spatial extension together with a decline in biodiversity in the relatively near future. In this context, monitoring programs to detect changes in reef ecosystems are essential. In recent years, coral reef mapping using remote sensing data has benefited fr...
متن کاملIdentification dust storms In West and South West of Iran Using remote sensing technology
One of the most important environmental challenges which exists in the Middle East and Iran in recent years is the phenomenon of dust. As regards the Western half of Iran is in proximity to large deserts and continually effects the country deserts dust and specially that western half and also the unpleasant effects that these dusts have on environment and people health; so the purpose of this s...
