Relationship between the Beam Attenuation Coefficient and the Concentration of Suspended Matter in Black-Sea Waters

By using the results of simultaneous measurements of the beam attenuation coefficient and the concentration of suspended matter in water samples, we deduce the relationships between these parameters for wavelengths of 640, 660, and 677 nm. The proposed formulas are used for the evaluation of the concentration of suspended matter according to the data of optical measurements performed in cruises of research vessels. We present two maps of the distribution of suspended matter plotted for the north part of the sea in November–December 1991 and for the south part of the sea in July 1992.

Evidence that satellites sense the cross-sectional area of suspended particles in shelf seas and estuaries better than their mass

Quantitative algorithms for the remote sensing of suspended sediments in shelf seas and estuaries have traditionally sought to relate the signal sensed by the satellite radiometer to the mass of particles in suspension. In situ measurements presented in this paper, however, show that the irradiance reflection coefficient at the sea surface is more closely related to the cross-sectional area of particles in suspension than to their mass. Other optical properties (which in turbid water depend on particle area) can therefore be related directly to the reflection coefficient. To interpret satellite data in terms of mass concentration (for testing numerical models of suspended sediment transport, for example), it is necessary to know the relationship between the area and mass of the particles. For the 2008–2009 dataset presented here for western UK coastal waters, the particle cross-sectional area varies by a factor of 5 for particles of a given size and mass. The causes of this variation are currently poorly understood.

Spectral variations in upwelling radiant intensity in turbid coastal waters

The spectral characteristics of visible light upwelling from turbid coastal waters were examined separately by means of both in situ and remote optical sensors. Increasing concentrations of suspended sediment were found to be associated with a migration of the in situ peak in spectral intensity towards longer (red) wavelengths. The water colour changes at long wavelengths were preserved at satellite altitudes without significant degradation of the spectral shift by the atmosphere making it possible to interpret directly three commonly used Landsat algorithms in terms of the changes in the upwelling in situ spectra. It was determined that more than one Landsat algorithm was necessary to follow the spectral shift of the sediments. For suspended sediments in the Bay of Fundy in the concentration range 5–50 mg 1⁻¹, in situ, aircraft and satellite studies all indicated that a ratio of Landsat band 4 to band 5 was optimum for monitoring the spectral changes associated with the sediments. Successful use of the Landsat system was attributed to the high reflectance and optimum colour changes associated with the Bay of Fundy suspended sediments     

水体石油类信息遥感提取模式研究

石油类是水体有机污染物中的一种,其对水体吸收系数的影响主要体现在有色可溶性有机物(chromophoric dissolved organic matter,CDOM)的光吸收特性上。在水色遥感领域,CDOM光吸收特性主要用其在参考波段的吸收系数和光谱斜率来表征。利用2008年5月、2009年8月和2010年6月在辽宁省盘锦市辽河油田境内获取的CDOM吸收系数、水体表观光学特性以及石油类污染浓度等试验数据,确定表征石油类污染水体CDOM吸收光谱特性的光谱斜率;根据光谱斜率以及表征CDOM浓度的440 nm参考波段吸收系数,建立遥感反演水体石油类污染浓度的模式,并利用31个野外现场实测值对模式精度进行了验证,结果表明,该模式的相对误差为7%;将该模式应用于国产卫星环境一号遥感数据,获取双台子河及辽东湾近岸水体石油类污染空间分布图。     

水体石油类物质生物-光学遥感反演模型

A biooptical modeling, which is based on a radiation transfer model, can be employed to simultaneously retrieve the concentration of various colour factors by multi-spectral remote sensing data, after connecting inherent optical properties （absorption coefficient and backward scattering coefficient） of colour factor with apparent optical properties （remote sensing reflectivity）. At present, this method has been used in a relatively wide range of applications in the inversion of a conventional water colour factor concentration in the case II water body： applications such as chlorophyll, suspended sediment, yellow substance. On the basis of extensive field testing data of water quality, correspondingly apparent optical properties, and the full use of the existing parametric model of colour factor inherent optical properties （with the parametrization of petroleum substance inherent optical properties established in the project） the remote recognition model for oil concentration is established by introducing oil as a new water co/our factor into a biooptical remote algorithm. The estimated value of the oil concentration was obtained by solving the biooptical model, using the data measured in May 2008 and August 2009 and June 2010 in seawater. The highly accurate inversion result promises to estimate the oil concentration in water for remote sensing.     

渤海湾海水光谱特性的数值分析

自然界各种物体，都有表征其自然属性的光谱特性。地物的光谱特性是遥感图象定性判读的依据之一，它作为一种遥感信息也直接用于定量测定和制图。 海水中悬浮物质的数量和性质影响海水的颜色和海水的光谱特性。反之，根据海水的光谱特性可以测定水中悬浮物质的数量和性质。1974年， S. D. Duntley首先从海洋叶绿素的光谱效应，提出根据海水的光谱反射率曲线，用卫星传感器测定水中叶绿素a 浓度的理论。1978年， R. W. Johnson 建立了航空遥感的光谱数据与沿岸带海洋叶绿素a 浓度之间的数学关系，并绘制了叶绿素a的分布图。1979年， R. W. Johnson建立了光谱数据与悬浮泥沙含量之间的数学关系，并绘制了悬浮泥沙的定量分布图，等等。本文的目的即是要建立一种方法，用国产101W光谱辐射计记录的遥感数据，计算海域悬浮泥沙、叶绿素a 浓度、水色等水质参数。 1980年5月16日至19日，由中国科学院组织，有中国科学院海洋研究所、国家海洋局第一海洋研究所、第二海洋研究所、交通部天津水运科学研究所、水利部天津水利科学研究所等单位参加，在天津塘沽的海河和蓟运河口进行津、渤地区第一次环境污染航空遥感监测联合试验。在此次试验中用机载101W光谱辐射计记录海水的光谱辐射曲线，作者以此计算海水的光谱反射率曲线，用逐次回归分析法建立海洋实测数据(悬浮泥沙、叶绿素a浓度、水色等)与海水光谱反射率数据之间的数学关系。实验基本是成功的，由回归方程计算的结果与海洋实测数据之间的相关系数约为0.7。如果对研究海域的每一个子域的辐射值作光谱扫瞄，作出定量的分布图也是可行的。

Preliminary optical classification of lakes and coastal waters in Estonia and south Finland

A preliminary optical classification of lakes in Estonia and south Finland which can also be used for small bays of the Baltic Sea is elaborated. The classification is based on the optical properties of water (diffuse attenuation coefficient, diffuse reflectance) and parameters that are routinely monitored in water bodies (Secchi depth, concentration of chlorophyll-a, total suspended matter and yellow substance). The data complex used for our classification covers different types of water ecosystems (ranging from oligotrophic to hypertrophic) and the variability of water constituent concentrations in the ice-free period in Estonia and south Finland. Using cluster analysis, we found 5 optical classes of waters: clear (C), moderate (M), turbid (T), very turbid (V) and brown (B). There is satisfactory correspondence between class of water, shape of diffuse attenuation coefficient and diffuse reflectance spectra and trophic state of the lakes.

Variation of diffuse attenuation coefficient of downwelling irradiance in the Arctic Ocean

The diffuse attenuation coefficient(Kd) for downwelling irradiance is calculated from solar irradiance data measured in the Arctic Ocean during 3rd and 4th Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition(CHINARE), including 18 stations and nine stations selected for irradiance profiles in sea water respectively. In this study, the variation of attenuation coefficient in the Arctic Ocean was studied, and the following results were obtained. First, the relationship between attenuation coefficient and chlorophyll concentration in the Arctic Ocean has the form of a power function. The best fit is at 443 nm, and its determination coefficient is more than 0.7. With increasing wavelength, the determination coefficient decreases abruptly. At 550 nm, it even reaches a value lower than 0.2. However, the exponent fitted is only half of that adapted in low-latitude ocean because of the lower chlorophyll-specific absorption in the Arctic Ocean. The upshot was that, in the case of the same chlorophyll concentration, the attenuation caused by phytoplankton chlorophyll in the Arctic Ocean is lower than in low-latitude ocean. Second, the spectral model, which exhibits the relationship of attenuation coefficients between 490 nm and other wavelength, was built and provided a new method to estimate the attenuation coefficient at other wavelength, if the attenuation coefficient at 490 nm was known. Third, the impact factors on attenuation coefficient, including sea ice and sea water mass, were discussed. The influence of sea ice on attenuation coefficient is indirect and is determined through the control of entering solar radiation. The linear relationship between averaging sea ice concentration(ASIC, from 158 Julian day to observation day) and the depth of maximum chlorophyll is fitted by a simple linear equation. In addition, the sea water mass, such as the ACW(Alaskan Coastal Water), directly affects the amount of chlorophyll through taking more nutrient, and results in the higher attenuation coefficient in the layer of 30–60 m. Consequently, the spectral model of diffuse attenuation coefficient, the relationship between attenuation coefficient and chlorophyll and the linear relationship between the ASIC and the depth of maximum chlorophyll, together provide probability for simulating the process of diffuse attenuation coefficient during summer in the Arctic Ocean.     

分层水体对表层辐照度比影响的蒙特卡罗分析

众多海洋观测数据表明,在真光层深度范围内,海水固有光学特性和光学有效组分的剖面分层分布是广泛存在的,而很多遥感反演模型的建立基于均一分布假设,尤其是在经验模型的建立中,往往只利用某一深度或各深度平均的光学有效组分浓度与水体光谱的统计关系。文章通过模拟平静水面水下光的辐射传输,分别研究了叶绿素、无机悬浮物浓度垂直分布结构对水下辐照度比的影响,并对比了两类分层水体权重函数等效浓度计算式及相应水下辐照度比,结果表明,对于分层水体,透射深度和层化强度是影响等效浓度值计算误差的主要因素,透射越深,表层层化越强,水体层化对水下辐照度比的影响就越大,但其计算误差也越大。Gondon等效浓度计算结果比较接近实际值,而Zaneveld计算式则高估了分层水体的等效浓度值。     

基于EOF分析对南海西北海域水体光谱特性的研究

This study presents an analysis of the spectral characteristics of remote sensing reflectance(R_(rs)) in northwestern South China Sea based on the in situ optical and water quality data for August 2018.R_(rs)was initially divided into four classes,classes A to D,using the max-classification algorithm,and the spectral properties of whole R_(rs) were characterized using the empirical orthogonal function(EOF) analysis.Subsequently,the dominant factors in each EOF mode were determined.The results indicated that more than 95% of the variances of R_(rs) are partly driven by the back-scattering characteristics of the suspended matter.The initial two EOF modes were well correlated with the total suspended matter and back-scattering coefficient.Furthermore,the first EOF modes of the four classes of R_(rs)(A-D R_(rs)-EOF_1) significantly contributed to the total variances of each R_(rs) class.In addition,the correlation coefficients between the amplitude factors of class A-D R_(rs)-EOF_1 and the variances of the relevant water quality and optical parameters were better than those of the unclassified ones.The spectral shape of class AR_(rs)-EOF_1 was governed by the absorption characteristic of chlorophyll a and colored dissolved organic matter(CDOM).The spectral shape of class B R_(rs)-EOF_1 was governed by the absorption characteristic of CDOM since it exhibited a high correlation with the absorption coefficient of CDOM(a_g(λ)),whereas the spectral shape of class C R_(rs)-EOF_1 was governed by the back-scattering characteristics but not affected by the suspended matter.The spectral shape of class D R_(rs)-EOF_1 exhibited a relatively good correlation with all the water quality parameters,which played a significant role in deciding its spectral shape.     

Variability of suspended organic matter in the northwestern Black Sea

The peculiarities in the distribution pattern of the concentration of suspended organic matter (SOM) components were studied for the long-term period of 1979–1995. We have analyzed their seasonal, annual, and interannual variability in the surface water layer and in the photosynthetic water layer in the northwestern Black Sea. Four areas pertaining to different concentrations of SOM components were defined according to the effect of riverine discharge and of open sea water masses, i.e. western, northern, central, and eastern areas. We have found an increase in the concentrations of SOM components in the summer-autumn period in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the highest values observed in 1992. The concentration of suspended organic carbon was estimated for the concentration of Chlorophyll a in the surface water layer. These calculations are based on the regression relationship between simultaneous measurements of these two parameters in situ. It was found that the seasonal interannual variability in the concentrations of SOM components was affected by the volume of riverine discharge, its run to the sea, and climatic shifts.     

北极阿蒙森湾一年冰物理和光学性质的观测研究

利用加拿大环极冰间水道系统研究项目,作者对2007年11月24日至2008年1月26日北极群岛阿蒙森湾海域秋冬季节一年冰的物理和光学性质进行了观测研究。结果显示,观测期间的海冰厚度整体在27～108 cm范围内变化,积雪厚度仅为0～6 cm。海冰温度、盐度和密度在冰内的分布特征为:海冰表层最低温度为–22.4℃,底层最高温度为–2.2℃,冰内温度随深度单调增大;盐度变化范围为3.30～11.70,冰内盐度剖面呈现“C”形,即表层和底层盐度较大,而中间层盐度较小;海冰的平均密度略大,为（0.91±0.03）g/cm3。通过观测人造光源在海冰中的透射辐射谱分布,发现一年冰的光谱透射辐射在490 nm和589 nm处呈明显的双峰结构,但随着海冰厚度的增加,双峰结构逐渐减弱,体现了海冰对于不同谱段辐射能衰减作用的差异。在可见光范围内,裸冰和雪覆冰的吸收率最小值出现在490 nm,在443～490 nm范围内二者的吸收率随波长增大而降低,在490～683 nm范围内二者的吸收率随波长增大而升高,但雪覆冰的吸收率在可见光范围内基本保持不变,体现了雪覆冰吸收率的光谱独立性。一年冰的谱衰减系数随波长呈“U”字形分布,紫光和红光谱段的衰减系数较大,中间谱段的衰减系数较小,589 nm波长的衰减系数最小,为1.7 m–1。将谱衰减系数在可见光范围内积分,得到一年冰的积分漫射衰减系数约为2.3 m–1,略高于多年浮冰的漫射衰减系数1.5 m–1。阿蒙森湾一年冰与加拿大海盆北部多年浮冰辐射光学性质的差异,主要源于陆源物质输入引起的海冰内含物组分的改变,而不同组分对光谱的吸收和散射性质不同,进一步导致了光学性质的整体变化。

基于浮标观测的东海赤潮高发区秋、冬季漫射衰减系数的反演

浮标测量的光学数据时间序列长、分辨率高, 能可靠地测量快速变化的漫射衰减系数(K_d)。东海赤潮高发区水体中的浮游植物生物量及悬浮泥沙含量存在较大的变化, 光学性质复杂。文章利用2013年9月至2014年1月的海洋光学浮标数据, 获得了该海域水体的表观光学特性, 基于K_d(490)与遥感反射比[R_rs(λ)]的相关关系建立了K_d(490)的经验算法, 并与已有7种反演算法进行了比较。结果表明, 该海域的K_d(λ)及R_rs(λ)具有显著的Ⅱ类水体光谱特征, 其中, K_d(490)的范围为0.01~4.31m^-1, 水体的浑浊程度变化大。K_d(490)与R_rs比值的相关性较好, 据此建立了以R_rs(650)/R_rs(510)、R_rs(555)/R_rs(510)作为自变量的K_d(490)双比值经验算法。将新建算法反演获得的K_d(490)与实测K_d(490)相比, 均方根误差、平均相对误差百分比和线性回归的决定系数分别为0.27m^-1、27.08%和0.77, 优于其他7种算法。算法精度的提高源于新建算法选择的R_rs能充分反映水体信息, 并适应水体组分的变化, 可为东海赤潮高发区K_d(490)的反演提供较好的选择, 并为海洋光学浮标在水体环境监测中的应用提供示例。
