Sea surface Fresnel reflections difference driven de-glint algorithm for airborne optical images.

This paper presents a glint correction algorithm for high spatial resolution optical remote sensing imagery captured by the ER-2 Airborne Visual Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS). The algorithm employs linear and differential techniques to mitigate sun glint and sky glint effects, encompassing statistical glint reflections resulting from variations in imaging angles within strips and inter-strip variations due to Fresnel reflectance disparities. It aims to diminish Fresnel reflectance diversity on water surfaces and mitigate the distortions induced by glint reflectance during spectral and ocean color inversion.

Chlorination of soil-derived dissolved organic matter: Long term nitrogen deposition does not increase terrestrial precursors of toxic disinfection byproducts.

Terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) in forested watersheds is a known precursor of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water. Although the characteristics of terrestrial DOM may change with increasing nitrogen (N) deposition in forests, how these changes alter formation potential and toxicity of DBPs remains unexplored. We analyzed the speciation and toxicity of DBPs from chlorination of DOM derived from soils (O, A, and B horizons) in an experimental temperate forest with 22 years of N addition.

Long-term biochar addition alters the characteristics but not the chlorine reactivity of soil-derived dissolved organic matter.

Biochar is widely and increasingly applied to farmlands. However, it remains unclear how long-term biochar addition alters the characteristics and chlorine reactivity of soil-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM), an important terrestrial disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursor in watersheds. Here, we analyzed the spectroscopic and molecular-level characteristics of soil-derived DOM and the formation and toxicity of DBP mixtures from DOM chlorination for two long-term (5 and 11 years) biochar addition experimental farmlands.

[Evaluation on the atmospheric correction methods for water color remote sensing by using HJ-1A/1B CCD image-taking Poyang Lake in China as a case].

HJ-1A/1B satellite CCD images have higher spatial and temporal resolution, making them of great potential in quantitatively monitoring the water quality of inland lakes. However, the atmospheric correction of the images restricts their application. Therefore, taking Poyang Lake, the biggest freshwater lake in China as study area , and using the in-situ data collected in 2009 and 2011, this paper compares the atmospheric correction results done by the four methods: FLAASH, 6S, COST and QUAC, and analyzes the influence of these atmospheric correction methods on the inversion accuracy of the total suspended sediments (TSS) concentration.

[Partitioning of the suspended particulate spectral scattering coefficient in Poyang Lake].

A model for partitioning the particulate scattering coefficient into the contributions of suspended mineral particle and organic particle was proposed based on the measured data. The independent variables, i. e.
