Hyperspectral Remote Sensing of Nearshore Water Quality by Sima Bagheri Pdf

This book provides details on of the utility of hyperspectral remote sensing – NASA/AVIRIS in nearshore water quality issues of NY/NJ. It demonstrates the use of bio optical modeling and retrieval techniques to derive the concentrations of important water quality parameters (chlorophyll, color dissolved organic matter and suspended sediments) in the study area. The case study focuses on the nearshore waters of NY/NJ considered as a valued ecological, economic and recreational resource within the New York metropolitan area. During field campaigns (1998-2001) measurements were made to establish hydrological optical properties of the NY/NJ nearshore waters with concurrent NASA/AVIRIS overflights. The field measurements included: 1) concurrent above and below surface spectral reflectance; 2) shipboard sampling for determination of inherent optical properties (IOP); and 3) concentrations of optically important water quality parameters. Understanding the relationship between reflectance, absorption and scattering is essential for developing the analytical algorithm necessary to use remote sensing as a monitoring /management tool in the nearshore environment.

Earth System Monitoring by John Orcutt Pdf

Modern Earth System Monitoring represents a fundamental change in the way scientists study the Earth System. In Oceanography, for the past two centuries, ships have provided the platforms for observing. Expeditions on the continents and Earth’s poles are land-based analogues. Fundamental understanding of current systems, climate, natural hazards, and ecosystems has been greatly advanced. While these approaches have been remarkably successful, the need to establish measurements over time can only be made using Earth observations and observatories with exacting standards and continuous data. The 19 peer-reviewed contributions in this volume provide early insights into this emerging view of Earth in both space and time in which change is a critical component of our growing understanding.

Hydrodynamic Characteristics and Pollutant Transport in Rivers and Nearshore Environments by Biyun Guo,XiuWen Cheng,Li Zhang,Xiaoning Zhao,Zengxin Zhang,Matteo Rubinato Pdf

With the development of societies and economies, the process of industrialization and urban modernization is accelerating, urban populations are increasing, and more and more wastewater is generated and released. Large quantities of hazardous industrial and agricultural wastewater and domestic sewage are discharged directly into reservoirs, lakes, rivers and the sea, without adequate treatment. The wide range of pollutants discharged can degrade, interact, and transform in aquatic environments. When light, temperature, nutrients and other natural conditions are suitable, it is common for algal species to burst into bloom, causing serious damage to the ecological environment of the receiving water body. As the flux of river discharge into the sea increases year by year, the deterioration of coastal water environments accelerates. Meanwhile, variations in climate and vegetation impact basin hydrological proceses and river runoff into the sea.

Processing and Analysis of Hyperspectral Data by Jie Chen,Yingying Song,Hengchao Li Pdf

Hyperspectral imagery has received considerable attention in the last decade as it provides rich spectral information and allows the analysis of objects that are unidentifiable by traditional imaging techniques. It has a wide range of applications, including remote sensing, industry sorting, food analysis, biomedical imaging, etc. However, in contrast to RGB images from which information can be intuitively extracted, hyperspectral data is only useful with proper processing and analysis. This book covers theoretical advances of hyperspectral image processing and applications of hyperspectral processing, including unmixing, classification, super-resolution, and quality estimation with classical and deep learning methods.
