Abstract Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) provides an opportunity to map
chlorophyll-a (Chla) in lake waters at spatial scales not feasible with ocean color missions …

Consistent, cross-mission retrievals of near-surface concentration of chlorophyll-a (Chla) in
various aquatic ecosystems with broad ranges of trophic levels have long been a complex …

Water clarity is a well-established first-order indicator of water quality and has been used
globally by water regulators in their monitoring and management programs. Assessments of …

Performance assessment of ocean color satellite data has generally relied on statistical
metrics chosen for their common usage and the rationale for selecting certain metrics is …

One of the challenging tasks in modern aquatic remote sensing is the retrieval of near-
