Abstract:
The major water constituents, whose concentration and distribution can be determined by optical remote sensing are suspended matter, phytoplankton and Gelbstoff, which is a fraction of dissolved organic matter. A good approach for the development of an appropriate evaluation technique is the determination of the information content of multispectral radiance measurements with either an eigenvalue or factor analysis. Following the results of these statistical approaches, an inverse modelling technique for the detection and separation of the most important water substance classes was developed. Besides the interpretation of multispectral radiance measurements, aerial photography has successfully been applied. -from Authors
