Abstract
Remote sensing techniques is used to quantify the total suspended matter concentration (C TSM). In this study, we used remotely sensed data to retrieve the C TSM for the Taihu Lake, China, and developed an atmospheric correction algorithm especially for CBERS-02B CCD data. We simulated the remote sensing reflectance (R rs) of CCD bands using in-situ observations made in a cruise over the Taihu Lake in autumn 2004, from which a retrieval model is established with simulated R rs(830) and measured C TSM. In addition, we applied the atmospheric correction algorithm and retrieval model to process the CCD data over the lake in 2008 and to retrieve the C TSM. The RMS relative error between the C TSM retrieved from MODIS and from the CCD images is about 42.9%, indicating that algorithms described in this paper can be used for the application of CCD data in monitoring the C TSM distribution in the Taihu Lake.
