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. …”
