Estimation of Chlorophyll-a and Suspended Solids Concentration in Rich Concentration Water Area with Remote Sensing Technique

Abstract

Lake Kasumigaura is polluted by massive growth of blue green algae during a typical summer. Measuring a quantity of chlorophyll-a in the phytoplankton is of importance in tackling with the lake water pollution problem. In this paper, a remote sensing method to estimate distribution of rich chlorophyll-a concentration as well as suspended solids concentration which is important parameter of turbidity in lakes or inland seas is proposed.
