The goal of this study was to determine the extent to which mixing and stratification processes influence the horizontal surface phytoplankton distribution in a tropical hydroelectric reservoir in Brazil. We used a synergistic ...

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) directly affects the underwater light field and, as a consequence, changes the water clarity and can reduce the primary production. Remote sensing-based bio-optical modeling can provide ...

Field surveys are an important source of data for several scientific studies. Hydrological optics investigations require a large amount of optical data acquired using sensors from distinct manufacturers built with specific ...

Many studies over the years have focused on bio-optical modeling of inland waters to monitor water quality. However, those studies have been conducted mainly in eutrophic and hyper-eutrophic environments dominated by ...

The aim of this research was to parameterize and calibrate models based on remote sensing data in order to estimate accurately the chlorophyll-a concentration, [Chl-a], in a tropical eutrophic reservoir. Firstly, a bio-optical ...

Several quasi-analytical algorithm (QAA) versions were developed to make it suitable for different inland water systems. QAA(BBHR) and QAA(OMW) were reparameterized based on two reservoirs from the Tiete River cascading ...
