Abstract

Retrievals of inherent optical properties (IOPs) and chlorophyll-a concentration (Chla) were investigated for AVNIR-2 images with 30 m spatial resolution and four bands in the southwest tropical lagoon of New Caledonia. We corrected the atmospheric and sea-surface reflectance iteratively through the retrieval of IOPs. After an additional correction of seafloor reflectance, the estimated IOPs and Chla agreed well with the in situ measurements even in the lagoon areas. This study provides a method to allow a local optimal estimation of IOPs and Chla with a high-resolution sensor by preparing the candidate spectra for the target areas.

Model spectra of $a_{p g}$ and $b_{b p}$ used in this study. Models of $a_{p g}$ (A) and $b_{b p}$ ( $Y = - 1.4$ ) were set from the New Caledonia measurements. $S$ was defined as $a_{d g} = \exp (S \times (λ - 442))$ as in Eq. (12), and $Y$ was defined as $b_{b p} = {(λ / 442)}^{Y}$ in Eq. (13). The spectra for picoplankton (B) and microplankton (C) from [58] were used for comparison. Curves are indicated for different $Y$ slopes for $b_{b p}$ ( $Y = 0$ and $Y = - 2$ , see also Table 4). Bars show standard deviation of the in situ measurements.
