Monitoring of water clarity trends is necessary for water resource managers. Remote sensing based methods are well suited for monitoring clarity in water bodies such as the inland lakes in Minnesota, United States. This study evaluated the potential of using imagery from NASA’s MODIS sensor to study intra-annual variations in lake clarity. MODIS reflectance images from six dates throughout the ...

Measuring the nearshore bathymetry is critical in coastal management and morphodynamic studies. The recent advent of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), combination with video monitoring techniques, allows for an alternative low cost evaluation bathymetry. Camera calibration stabilization a issue estimation from systems. This work introduces new methodology order to obtain such bathymetries, it co...

This paper presents the implementation and verification of a seabed bathymetry feature friction to open-source, lumped-mass mooring system dynamics modeler, MoorDyn, which is part National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulation tool, OpenFAST. Variations in slope, as well frictional effects lines moving along seabed, will affect line tensions floating platform consequ...

Research on the physical, ecological, and environmental processes in coastal zone traditionally rely availability of accurate seafloor topography (bathymetry) information. This information becomes increasingly important as environments are under pressure by climate change anthropogenic developments. Nonetheless, bathymetry shallow nearshore waters is only marginally monitored cost- time-intensi...

A few scholars have developed the models for retrieval of water depth from subsurface reflectance multispectral images to avoid influences such as sun glitter. However, are only suitable case I water. For this reason, study proposes a bathymetry model using both and II The first corrects surface image then converts it into image, is used image. Landsat 8 were taken experiments in 1 2 water, two...
