Abstract

Remote sensing data collected by the Environment Satellite I are characterized by high temporal resolution, high spectral resolution and mid-high spatial resolution. We designed the Remote Sensing Application System for Water Environments (RSASWE) to create an integrated platform for remote sensing data processing, parameter information extraction and thematic mapping using both remote sensing and GIS technologies. This system provides support for regional water environmental monitoring, and prediction and warning of water pollution. Developed to process and apply data collected by Environment Satellite I, this system has automated procedures including clipping, observation geometry computation, radiometric calibration, 6S atmospheric correction and water quality parameter inversion. RSASWE consists of six subsystems: remote sensing image processing, basic parameter inversion, water environment remote sensing thematic outputs, application outputs, automated water environment outputs and a non-point source pollution monitoring subsystem. At present RSASWE plays an important role in operations at the Satellite Environment Center.
