In the last two decades, airborne LiDAR, as an active remote sensing technique, has
emerged as one of the most effective and reliable means of 3D point clouds collection. This …

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 …

Angelo Secchi was an astrophysicist and a pioneer in the use of spectroscopy in that field
and also contributed to meteorology and geodesy. His only contribution to oceanography …

Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) can significantly influence underwater light
fields, nutrient availability, and microbial activity; thus, it plays an essential role in physical …

With climate warming, a widespread expectation is that events in spring, such as flowering,
bird migrations, and insect bursts, will occur earlier because of increasing temperature. At …

The forest cover of Northern Europe has been steadily expanding during the last 120 years.
More terrestrial vegetation and carbon fixation leads to more export to surface waters. This …

Secchi depth (SD), a primary metric to assess trophic state, is controlled in many lakes by
algal densities, measured as chlorophyll‐a (chl‐a) concentration. Two other optically related …

Abstract Secchi Disk Depth (Z sd) is one of the most fundamental and widely used water-
quality indicators quantifiable via optical remote sensing. Despite decades of research …

The Secchi disk depth (Z SD) is a widely used parameter for evaluating water clarity. Here
we propose an improved algorithm, which is based on a new underwater visibility theory, for …

The source composition of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in lakes is
closely related to regional environmental changes, human activities, and the carbon cycle …
