Review on remote sensing inversion methods of Chlorophyll a in Taihu Lake

Abstract

Chlorophyll a is one of the important parameters to evaluate the water condition, and its content is of great significance to reflect the eutrophication of water body. As an effective inversion method of Chlorophyll, remote sensing inversion has been used widely by scholars all over the world. This paper systematically summarizes the application of remote sensing inversion model in inland water body. Furthermore, the problems in the inversion process are discussed (i.e. poor universality and less understanding of the optical characteristics of water body). Meanwhile we make personal points on the inversion of water body.
