Rrs

The use of remote sensing for the detection of water quality parameters requires an accurate estimation of remote sensing reflectance (Rrs),a keyphysical quantity for parameters retrieval. The Rrs signal generally only accounts for around 10% of the total signal recorded at sensor, whileatmospheric contribution, due to gases and aerosol presence, is predominant.The first part of my PhD thesis work is focused on the analysis of different techniques for atmospheric correction of satellite images of inland andcoastal waters. In the second part, the best technique will be thus selected and applied in time series imagery for assessing water quality by usingbio-optical models. The target areas include lakes and coastal waters with different trophic conditions.

The images acquired by the latestgeneration of satellite sensors areused to monitor both large and smallwater bodies.• Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 for their

Atmospheric techniques considered in this work are all based on radiativetransfer theory which include the physic of aerosols, whosecharacterisation can be based on both pre-defined models or on in situmeasurements.The following RT codes are used for comparative analysis to retrieve theRrs: ACOLITE1, SEADAS2, 6SV3, Atcor4.

Bio-optical models are then used to estimate water quality parametersfrom Rrs. In this work the bio-optical model implemented in BOMBER5

will be used. It estimates chlorophyll-a and total suspended matterconcentrations and coloured dissolved organic matter.

WATER QUALITY MAPS

AcknowledgmentsField campaigns were founded by GLaSS (7th Framework Programme, proj. N. 313256). Landsat-8 data available from the U.S. Geological Survey.

• Sun-photometers measurements,available in the study areas are exploitedto accurately describe aerosolcharacteristics.

• Rrs spectra and water quality parametersare also gathered from dedicated fieldcampaigns.

First results show accurate description of aerosol allows a more accurateestimation of Rrs, key quantity for water parameters retrieval.
