Title: Remote sensing of total suspended substances and application

Abstract:

Assessments of total suspended substances (TSS) are important to environmental management and risk analysis of ecosystems. In this study, we discuss the developed process of a two bands TSS remote sensing model for water quality monitoring. The model has been validated by different remote sensing sensors, such as Landsat TM, MODIS. The model has been applied in estuaries and coasts of United States and China including water bodies with different turbidities. The application is also produced on evaluation of water quality effects on Chinese White Dolphin habitat in Pearl River Estuary and coral reef in southwest of Leizhou peninsula of south China.
Key words Total suspended substances (TSS); Remote sensing; Application
