Detecting the Effects of Extreme Events on Estuarine Suspended Particulate Matter Using Satellite Remote Sensing (Scheldt Estuary): Challenges and Opportunities

Juliana Tavora et al.

Summary: Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) is influenced by wind and river discharge, but the relationship between them and their impact on SPM in turbid estuaries is largely unknown. This study uses satellite data and in situ observations to examine the effects of wind and river discharge on SPM in the Scheldt Estuary. Weak but statistically significant correlations were found between SPM and both river discharge and wind speed. The study highlights the importance of these drivers in the estuarine system and suggests the use of complementary instruments to better capture the effects of extreme events.

Validation of Remote-Sensing Algorithms for Diffuse Attenuation of Downward Irradiance Using BGC-Argo Floats

Charlotte Begouen Demeaux et al.

Summary: This study compared different algorithms for estimating the diffuse attenuation coefficient (K-d) using data from various satellites and measurements from autonomous profiling floats. The results showed that although the algorithms provided similar values to the floats, they produced statistically different distributions. The discrepancies were attributed to the limitations of the datasets used for algorithm development and the neglect of sun angle in some algorithms. The study highlights the importance of using comprehensive field-based datasets and considering sun angle for algorithm improvement.

Summary: This study evaluates water quality parameters retrieved from Landsat-9 imagery using physics-based and machine learning models, and performs a consistency analysis with near-simultaneous Sentinel-2 data. The results indicate higher accuracy and lower noise in the water quality products derived from Landsat-9, which can be attributed to its wider dynamic range.

Automatic Extraction of Sargassum Features From Sentinel-2 MSI Images

Mengqiu Wang et al.

Summary: Frequent Sargassum beaching in the Caribbean Sea and other regions has caused severe problems for local environments and economies. Although coarse-resolution satellite instruments can provide large-scale Sargassum distributions, their use is problematic in nearshore waters that are directly relevant to local communities. Finer resolution instruments, such as the multispectral instruments (MSIs) on the Sentinel-2 satellites, show potential to fill this gap, yet automatic Sargassum extraction is difficult due to compounding factors. In this article, a new approach is developed to extract Sargassum features automatically from MSI Floating Algae Index (FAI) images. Because of the high spatial resolution, limited signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and staggered instrument internal configuration, there are many nonalgae bright targets (including cloud artifacts and wave-induced glints) causing enhanced near-infrared reflectance and elevated FAI values. Based on the spatial patterns of these image noises, a Trainable Nonlinear Reaction Diffusion (TNRD) denoising model is trained to estimate and remove such noise. The model shows excellent performance when tested over realistic noise patterns derived from MSI measurements. After removing such noise and masking clouds (as well as cloud shadows and glint patterns), biomass density from each valid pixel is quantified using the FAI-biomass model established from earlier field measurements, from which Sargassum morphology (length/width/biomass) is derived. Overall, the proposed approach achieves over 86% Sargassum extraction accuracy and shows preliminary success on Landsat-8 images. The approach is expected to be incorporated in the existing near real-time Sargassum Watch System for both Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 observations to monitor Sargassum over nearshore waters.
