an algorithm for estimating suspended sediment concentrations in the coastal waters of india using remotely sensed reflectance and its application to coastal environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
this study presents an empirical relationship of suspended sediment concentrations (sscs) inthe coastal waters, which is derived from the conventional methods, to radiometer remote sensing reflectance values (rrs) and satellite data in coastal waters of kerala. an algorithm is then developed to utilize both in situ sscs measured from conventional methods and rrs values. this algorithm is validated with the sscs retrieved from oceansat-2 ocean colour monitor (ocm) data. a significant coefficient of determination (r2=0.62) is observed between the sscs measured in situ and satellite derived sscs. reflectance values from more than two spectral wavelength bands are also employed to test the accuracy of results. satellite derived sscs range from 1- 40 mg/l in the coastal waters off cochin, southwest india. the regional algorithm developed for the study area gives better results than tassan’s algorithm, and this algorithm can be used in estimation of ssc for coastal waters of western india.

متن کاملEstimating live fuel moisture content from remotely sensed reflectance
Fuel moisture content (FMC) is used in forest fire danger models to characterise the moisture status of the foliage. FMC expresses the amount of water in a leaf relative to the amount of dry matter and differs from measures of leaf water content which express the amount of water in a leaf relative to its area. FMC is related to both leaf water content and leaf dry matter content, and the relati...
