Atmospheric correction plays an important role in satellite monitoring of lake water quality. However, different atmospheric correction algorithms yield significantly different accuracy for inland lake waters beset by shallowness and turbidity. Finding a suitable algorithm for a specific lake is critical for quantitative satellite water-environmental monitoring.

The use of satellite remote sensing has considerably improved scientific understanding of the heterogeneity of Amazonian rainforests. However, the persistent cloud cover and strong Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) effects make it difficult to produce up-to-date satellite image composites over the huge extent of Amazonia. Advanced pre-processing and pixel-based compositing over an extended time period are needed to fill the data gaps caused by clouds and to achieve consistency in pixel values across space.

Agricultural droughts are a threat to local economies, as they disrupt crops. The monitoring of agricultural droughts is of practical significance for mitigating loss. Even though satellite data have been extensively used in agricultural studies, realizing wide-range, high-resolution, and high-precision agricultural drought monitoring is still difficult.

Data from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) instruments onboard the Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellite platforms are subject to contamination by cloud cover, with cirrus contributions being the most difficult to detect and mask. To help address this issue, a cirrus detection channel (Band 9) centered within the 1.375-μm water vapor absorption region was implemented on OLI, with a spatial resolution of 30 m.

Water clarity has long been used as a visual indicator of the condition of water quality. The clarity of waters is generally valued for esthetic and recreational purposes. Water clarity is often assessed using a Secchi disk attached to a measured line and lowered to a depth where it can be no longer seen.
