Remotely observed variations of reservoir low concentration chromophoric dissolved organic matter and its response to upstream hydrological and meteorological conditions using Sentinel-2 imagery and Gradient Boosting Regression Tree

Freshwater lakes are facing increasingly serious water quality problems. Remote sensing techniques are effective tools for monitoring spatiotemporal information of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), a biochemical indicator for water quality. In this study, the Gradient Boosting Regression...

Remotely observed variations of reservoir low concentration chromophoric dissolved organic matter and its response to upstream hydrological and meteorological conditions using Sentinel-2 imagery and Gradient Boosting Regression Tree
description Freshwater lakes are facing increasingly serious water quality problems. Remote sensing techniques are effective tools for monitoring spatiotemporal information of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), a biochemical indicator for water quality.
