AI Article Synopsis
- New advancements in remote sensing technology, including a new coastal/aerosol band and improved sensitivity of Landsat 8’s Operational Land Imager, make it possible to monitor fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM) in water.
- The paper reviews past efforts and provides initial examples of how Landsat 8 reflectance values relate to corrected fDOM data.
- Early findings, particularly those analyzed before and after Hurricane Sandy, show promise, but further research is essential to fully utilize Landsat 8 for continuous fDOM mapping across diverse water profiles.
Article Abstract
Due to a combination of factors, such as a new coastal/aerosol band and improved radiometric sensitivity of the Operational Land Imager aboard Landsat 8, the atmospherically-corrected Surface Reflectance product for Landsat data, and the growing availability of corrected fDOM data from U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations, moderate-resolution remote sensing of fDOM may now be achievable. This paper explores the background of previous efforts and shows preliminary examples of the remote sensing and data relationships between corrected fDOM and Landsat 8 reflectance values. Although preliminary results before and after Hurricane Sandy are encouraging, more research is needed to explore the full potential of Landsat 8 to continuously map fDOM in a number of water profiles.
