Resumen Ejecutivo
Quantitative bio-optical inversion for inland water monitoring, resolving phycocyanin absorption features (620 nm), chlorophyll-a absorption (665 nm), and total suspended matter scattering across complex Case-2 inland water bodies.
Hallazgos Metodológicos Clave
620 nm phycocyanin absorption dip isolates toxic cyanobacteria blooms from benign green algae with zero false-alarm confusion.
Semi-analytical bio-optical inversion models retrieve chlorophyll-a concentrations across 0.5–250 µg/L without requiring site-specific statistical re-calibration.
Acid mine drainage plumes are mapped by automated detection of dissolved ferric iron and secondary jarosite/schwertmannite precipitates.
Física y Metodología de Inversión
Inversion of subsurface water-leaving reflectance through semi-analytical bio-optical forward models parameterised with absorption and backscattering coefficients of pure water, phytoplankton, CDOM, and mineral particles.
Ventanas Espectrales Diagnósticas
| Band Regime | Wavelength Range | Physical / Chemical Feature |
|---|---|---|
| VNIR | 615 – 630 nm | Phycocyanin pigment absorption dip (cyanobacteria) |
| Red-Edge | 665 – 710 nm | Chlorophyll-a absorption peak and red-edge fluorescence reflectance peak |
| NIR | 750 – 850 nm | Total suspended mineral particulate backscatter baseline |
