Estimating Chlorophyll-a Concentrations in Optically Shallow Waters Using Gaofen-1 Wide-Field-of-View (GF-1 WFV) Datasets from Lake Taihu, China by Fuli Yan, Yuzhuo Li, Xiangtao Fan, Hongdeng Jian, Yun Li

“…The results show the following: (1) The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) method can distinguish the bottom mud (NDVI < −0.46) and submerged aquatic plants (−0.46 ≤ NDVI < 0.52) from the emergent plants (NDVI ≥ 0.52) with 90% accuracy. (2) The downwelling and upwelling irradiance attenuation coefficients are highly correlated with the suspended sediments, and retrieval models for these coefficients in three visible bands with high accuracy are presented. (3) Compared to traditional algorithms without bottom effect removal, the proposed chlorophyll-a concentration estimation algorithm based on the water depth-optimized bottom effect removal method efficiently reduces the bottom effect of the submerged aquatic plants. …”

Soil moisture and precipitation intensity jointly control the transit time distribution of quick flow in a flashy headwater catchment by H. Türk, C. Stumpp, M. Hrachowitz, K. Schulz, P. Strauss, G. Blöschl, M. Stockinger

“…The results showed that accounting for both soil moisture and precipitation intensity to define the shape of SAS functions for preferential flow improved the tracer simulation in streamflow (increasing the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency from 0.31 to 0.51). This also led to a higher percentage of streamflow (an increase from 2.87 % to 4.38 %) with shorter transit times (TTs younger than 7 d), with the largest differences occurring during the summer and autumn months. …”
