OPTICAL REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES TO ESTIMATE PHYTOPLANKTON CHLOROPHYLL a CONCENTRATIONS IN COASTAL WATERS WITH VARYING SUSPENDED MATTER AND CDOM CONCENTRATIONS
نویسنده
چکیده
"Roughly 98% of the world’s oceans and coastal waters fall into the Case 1 category, and almost all bio-optical research has been directed toward these phytoplanktondominated waters. However, near-shore and estuarine Case 2 waters are disproportionately important to human interests such as recreation, fisheries, and military operations. It is therefore likely that Case 2 waters will receive increasing attention in coming years." – Curtis Mobley, 1994. Light and Water: Radiative Transfer in Natural Waters

Model for the interpretation of hyperspectral remote-sensing reflectance.
Remote-sensing reflectance is easier to interpret for the open ocean than for coastal regions because the optical signals are highly coupled to the phytoplankton (e.g., chlorophyll) concentrations. For estuarine or coastal waters, variable terrigenous colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), suspended sediments, and bottom reflectance, all factors that do not covary with the pigment concentrati...
متن کاملOptical Models for Remote Sensing of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter Absorption and Salinity in New England, Middle Atlantic and Gulf Coast Estuaries USA
Ocean color algorithms have been successfully developed to estimate chlorophyll a and total suspended solids concentrations in coastal and estuarine waters but few have been created to estimate light absorption due to colored dissolved inorganic matter (CDOM) and salinity from the spectral signatures of these waters. In this study, we used remotely sensed reflectances in the red and blue-green ...
متن کاملPhytoplankton Group Identification Using Simulated and In situ Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Reflectance
In the present study we investigate the bio-geo-optical boundaries for the possibility to identify dominant phytoplankton groups from hyperspectral ocean color data. A large dataset of simulated remote sensing reflectance spectra, Rrs(λ), was used. The simulation was based on measured inherent optical properties of natural water and measurements of five phytoplankton light absorption spectra re...
متن کاملVariability of the Inherent and Apparent Optical Properties in a Highly Turbid Coastal Area: Impact on the Calibration of Remote Sensing Algorithms
The Southern Bight of the North Sea is characterised by a large influence of river inputs, which results in significant eutrophication of the coastal area. High values of chlorophyll (CHL) and total suspended matter (TSM) have been reported for these waters, associated with blooms of different species and resuspension of bottom sediments. Optical properties vary considerably both seasonally and...
متن کاملContrasting seasonality in optical-biogeochemical properties of the Baltic Sea
Optical-biogeochemical relationships of particulate and dissolved organic matter are presented in support of remote sensing of the Baltic Sea pelagic. This system exhibits strong seasonality in phytoplankton community composition and wide gradients of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), properties which are poorly handled by existing remote sensing algorithms. Absorption and scatterin...
