Near Infrared-Red Models For The Remote Estimation Of Chlorophyll-Α Concentration In Optically Complex Turbid Productive Waters: From In Situ Measurements To Aerial Imagery, Daniela Gurlin
School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Today the water quality of many inland and coastal waters is compromised by cultural eutrophication in consequence of increased human agricultural and industrial activities and remote sensing is widely applied to monitor the trophic state of these waters. This study explores near infrared-red models for the remote estimation of chlorophyll-a concentration in turbid productive waters and compares several near infrared-red models developed within the last 35 years.
Three of these near infrared-red models were calibrated for a dataset with chlorophyll-a concentrations from 2.3 to 81.2 mg m-3 and validated for independent and statistically significantly different datasets with …
