  1. Remote Sensing of Chlorophyll in Matagorda Bay and Surroundings Claire G. Griffin GIS in Water Resources Fall 2010

  2. Outline • Utility of Remote Sensing for Water Quality Data • Matagorda Bay • Data • Image Processing • Mapping Chlorophyll • Implications

  3. Chlorophyll

  4. Remote Sensing of Water Quality • Location-specific, empirical algorithms • Continuous data, spatially explicit maps, access to remote areas

  5. Matagorda Bay • 3rd largest estuary • Connected to Lavaca and Tres Palacios Bays • Lavaca River and Colorado River

  6. Data • Chlorophyll from TCEQ and TCOON • 70 sites • 20 corresponded with Landsat scenes • 17 Landsat Scenes

  7. Image Processing Download from USGS Window to include only Matagorda Bay Atmospheric Correction

  8. Mapping Chlorophyll Regress combinations of bands against Chl-a Extract reflectances from Landsat data Validate with data from other dates Apply best algorithm to Landsat imagery

  9. Implications and Uses • Monitoring potential • Tracking change • Relating to watershed characteristics From Arismendez et al. (2009)
