Download or read book Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Nearshore Water Quality written by Sima Bagheri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides details on of the utility of hyperspectral remote sensing – NASA/AVIRIS in nearshore water quality issues of NY/NJ. It demonstrates the use of bio optical modeling and retrieval techniques to derive the concentrations of important water quality parameters (chlorophyll, color dissolved organic matter and suspended sediments) in the study area. The case study focuses on the nearshore waters of NY/NJ considered as a valued ecological, economic and recreational resource within the New York metropolitan area. During field campaigns (1998-2001) measurements were made to establish hydrological optical properties of the NY/NJ nearshore waters with concurrent NASA/AVIRIS overflights. The field measurements included: 1) concurrent above and below surface spectral reflectance; 2) shipboard sampling for determination of inherent optical properties (IOP); and 3) concentrations of optically important water quality parameters. Understanding the relationship between reflectance, absorption and scattering is essential for developing the analytical algorithm necessary to use remote sensing as a monitoring /management tool in the nearshore environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximating and forecasting water variables like phosphorus, nitrogen, chlorophyll, dissolved organic matter, and turbidity are of supreme importance due to their strong influence on water resource quality. This chapter is aimed at showing the practicability of merging water quality observations from remote sensing with water quality modeling for efficient and effective monitoring of water quality. We examine the spatial dynamics of water quality with hyperspectral remote sensing and present approaches that can be used to estimate water quality using hyperspectral images. The methods presented here have been embraced because the blue-green and green algae peak wavelengths reflectance are close together and make their distinction more challenging. It has also been established that hyperspectral imagers permit an improved recognition of chlorophyll and hereafter algae, due to acquired narrow spectral bands between 450 nm and 600 nm. We start by describing the practical application of hyperspectral remote sensing data in water quality modeling. The surface inherent optical properties of absorption and backscattering of chlorophyll a, colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and turbidity are estimated, and a detailed approach on analyzing ARCHER data for water quality estimation is presented.

Download or read book Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of the Coastal Ocean Adaptive Sampling and Forecasting of Near Shore In Situ Optical Properties written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to identify bathymetry, submerged obstacles, bottom type, or water clarity is clearly required for Mine Warfare (MIW), Mine counter Measures (MCM), and Naval Special Warfare (NSW), particularly in Very Shallow Water (VSW), riverine and estuarine environments. The HyCODE program was developed to explore 6.1 and 6.2 research into remote sensing and nowcast/forecast systems to more fully develop the potential of environmental optics for Naval operations. FERI participated at all three HyCODE sites - LEO-15, West Florida Shelf, and COBOP. The remote sensing aspects of this program were very successful, leading to numerous publications, as well as continuing ONR programs in hyperspectral remote sensing. The remote sensing technologies developed here were also transitioned to other agencies (e.g. NOAA) developing coastal monitoring operations. The ROMS/EcoSim forecasting subroutines of predictive optics and ecology are available in the current release v2.1 of the ROMS/TOMS code set, as well as in the v2.3, when available. This open source code is a boon for the community of modelers who may wish to explore optical and ecological interactions without having to start the development of optical forecast modeling from scratch. We have also demonstrated the value of coupling optics and ecology to advanced circulation models, in particular by showing the far field impacts of poorly constrained assimilations of physical data on the non-conservative optical and ecological tracers. This feedback between physical and optical simulations will allow for improved predictions of each in future coastal nowcast/forecast systems.

Download or read book Airborne Hyperspectral Remote Detection of Water Quality Parameters in the Inland and Coastal Waters of the Cowichan Watershed British Columbia written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical remote detection of surface water quality for open ocean waters has been ongoing since the 1960's. This method of detection is much more challenging, and not yet standard practice, for the more optically complex inland and coastal waters. A series of empirically developed models were built relating remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) for Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imagery (CASI), acquired over both inland and coastal water bodies of the Cowichan River watershed in British Columbia, to concurrently sampled water parameter concentrations. The models predict concentrations of chlorophyll-a and its pheopigments (as a proxy signal of phytoplankton), coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and total suspended solids (TSS), using techniques including simple regression, step-wise regression, band ratios, derivative analysis, and fluorescence line height (FLH). The most statistically significant models were ultimately applied. Each of the models was found to be statistically significant, although confidence in the lake models and the CDOM model for the bay are limited due to potential chance correlations. The Chl-a and TSS models for Cowichan Bay were found to be acceptable based upon an understanding of the phenomenon being investigated. These two parameters were correlated to short blue wavelengths, where Chl-a is primarily correlated with absorption at 451 nm and TSS with scattering at 462nm. These findings provide support of the application of the standard configuration of MERIS bands as the common configuration for further coastal and inland water remote sensing studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Earth System Monitoring represents a fundamental change in the way scientists study the Earth System. In Oceanography, for the past two centuries, ships have provided the platforms for observing. Expeditions on the continents and Earth’s poles are land-based analogues. Fundamental understanding of current systems, climate, natural hazards, and ecosystems has been greatly advanced. While these approaches have been remarkably successful, the need to establish measurements over time can only be made using Earth observations and observatories with exacting standards and continuous data. The 19 peer-reviewed contributions in this volume provide early insights into this emerging view of Earth in both space and time in which change is a critical component of our growing understanding.
