Abstract

The objective of this study was to map the horizontal distribution of water-bloom, or "Aoko", in Lake Shinji, Shimane Prefecture, using SPOT HRV and concurrent field survey data. Surface chlorophyll-a concentration (C) was adopted as a measure of Aoko amount in lake surface water. Two kinds of empirical algorithms, single band regression and band ratio regression algorithms, were used to estimate C from SPOT HRV and in-situ C data acquired in the morning of October 9, 1997. The C distribution patterns derived from satellite data were compared with aerial photographs taken 1.5 hour prior to satellite overpass. Also, various options to determine path radiance values using "Dark pixel" method were examined. The following results were obtained : 1) Surface suspended solid concentration (SSC) affected the accuracy of the estimated C when single band algorithms were applied, 2) The ratio algorithm using HRV band 1 and 2, after path radiance removal, could reduce the influence of SSC and improved the accuracy of C estimation considerably, and 3) Aoko was found along the north shore of the lake with 4-8 km length, and it covered about 7% of the lake surface.
