Abstract
In order to estimate blue tide distributions by satellite remote sensing, we carried out a synchronous observation using a ship and GOCI satellite on 24th. Aug, 2015. In the ship observation, we measured optical properties of the blue tide and Turbidity detected light scattering of sulfur colloids of the blue tide at each station. Based on the observed optical properties and the Turbidity, blue tides estimation model was developed and was applied to a GOCI image to evaluate the estimation accuracy. As a result, the developed model estimated the blue tide distribution of 24th, Aug, 2015 with high accuracy and then it was also capable of estimating blue tide distributions captured in other GOCI images with high accuracy. Hence, the model is expected not only figuring out blue tide distributions but also to be utilized as a monitoring technic for the blue tides.
