Sentinel-2A/MSI (S2A) and Landsat-8/OLI (L8) data products present a new frontier for the assessment and retrieval of optically active water quality parameters including chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), suspended particulate matter (TSS), and turbidity in reservoirs. However, because of their differences in spatial and spectral samplings, it is critical to evaluate how well the sensors are suited for the seamless generation of the water quality parameters (WQPs). This study presents results from the retrieval of the WQP in a reservoir from L8 and S2A optical sensors, after atmospheric correction and standardization through band adjustment. An empirical multivariate regression model (EMRM) algorithmic approach is proposed for the estimation of the water quality parameters in correlation with in situ laboratory measurements. From the results, both sensors estimated Chl-a concentrations with R2 of greater than 70% from the visible green band for L8 and a combination of green and SWIR-1 bands for S2A. While the NMSE% was nearly the same for both sensors in Chl-a estimation, the RMSE was <10 μg/L and >10 μg/L for L8 and S2A estimations of Chl-a, respectively. For TSS retrieval, L8 outperformed S2A by 31% in accuracy with R2>0.9 from L8’s red, blue, and green bands, as compared to 0.47≤R2≥0.61 from S2A’s red and NIR bands. The RMSE were the same as for Chl-a, and the NMSE% were both in the same range. Both sensors retrieved turbidity with high and nearly equal accuracy of R2>70% from the visible and NIR bands, with equal RMSE at <10% NTU and NMAE% from S2A being higher by more than 30% as compared to L8’s NMAE% at 15%. The study concluded that the higher performance accuracy of L8 is attributed to its higher SNR and spectral bandwidth placement as compared to S2A bands. Comparatively, S2A overestimated Chl-a and turbidity but performed equally well compared to OLI in the estimation of TSS. The results show that while absolute accuracy of retrieval of the WQPs still requires improvements, the developed algorithms are broadly able to discern the biooptical water quality in reservoirs.

Vegetation Heterogeneity

The work is devoted to the analysis of the influence of the earth surface temperature on the inhomogeneity of the agricultural crops development. The aim of the work is to expand the object-relational model for describing the inhomogeneous spatial structure of a spatial object by including surface temperature as one of the key features that allow determining the cause of vegetation heterogeneity, along with relief features, differences in the soil chemical composition and other significant characteristics. Experimental studies are carried out at sites located in Sukhobuzimsky district of Krasnoyarsk Territory, for which agricultural crops (grains) and the their sowing dates are known a priori, which allows stating any facts of the vegetation development deviation from the normative trajectory with reference to the sequence and timing norms of phenological phase changing. Landsat-8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) TIRS (Thermal Infrared Sensor) data are used as initial data for temperature measurements. Objects of research are presented in the form of a polygon map in SHP format. The temperature values are calculated using the algorithm for estimating the earth temperature developed by Weng Q., Lu D. and Schubring J. The surface reflectance values are the NDVI vegetation index values also obtained from the Landsat-8 OLI data that underwent atmospheric correction by the DOS method. The research results are implemented in the form of a software module and integrated into the Earth remote monitoring (ERM) system of SFU Space and Information Technologies Institute (SITI). The results are used within the concept of object-oriented monitoring of spatial objects developed by the team of authors, and represent index images of the surface temperature of objects, as well as vector schematic maps.

Remote Sensing Methods

The paper presents the results of a comparison of water turbidity and suspended particulate matter concentration (SPM) obtained from quasi-synchronous in situ and satellite remote-sensing data. Field measurements from a small boat were performed in April and May 2019, in the northeastern part of the Black Sea, in the mouth area of the Mzymta River. The measuring instruments and methods included a turbidity sensor mounted on a CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth), probe, a portable turbidimeter, water sampling for further laboratory analysis and collecting meteorological information from boat and ground-based weather stations. Remote-sensing methods included turbidity and SPM estimation using the C2RCC (Case 2 Regional Coast Color) and Atmospheric correction for OLI ‘lite’ (ACOLITE) ACOLITE processors that were run on Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Sentinel-2A/2B Multispectral Instrument (MSI) satellite data. The highest correlation between the satellite SPM and the water sampling SPM for the study area in conditions of spring flooding was achieved using C2RCC, but only for measurements undertaken almost synchronously with satellite imaging because of the high mobility of the Mzymta plume. Within the few hours when all the stations were completed, its boundary could shift considerably. The ACOLITE algorithms overestimated by 1.5 times the water sampling SPM in the low value range up to 15 g/m3. For SPM over 20–25 g/m3, a high correlation was observed both with the in situ measurements and the C2RCC results. It was demonstrated that quantitative turbidity and SPM values retrieved from Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2A/2B MSI data can adequately reflect the real situation even using standard retrieval algorithms, not regional ones, provided the best suited algorithm is selected for the study region.
