Data Processing For The Determination Of Pigments And Suspended Solids From Thematic Mapper Data

DATA PROCESSING The use of Thematic Mapper data for determination of chlorophyll and suspended solids in fresh water is shown. Data processing, an atmospheric correction model and a multiple regression model for chlorophyll A presented here. It is shown that it is possible to use Thematic Mapper data as a source for chlorophyll A mapping in f resh-water bodies. The regression model for chlorophyll is found to be significant up to the 90 percent level with a regression coefficient of 0.659.
