Abstract
A comparative study was conducted between
in-situ spectrophotometric analysis of concentration of chlorophyll a and
remote sensing data to understand the conflict of data interpretation in two
methods. Total Suspended Matter (TSM) was another selected parameter for water
quality assessment in coastal and estuarine region which influence the
Chlorophyll a concentration indirectly, henceforth was considered to be
compared in the same way. In-situ concentrations and remote sensing data
varied greatly in the mangrove waters in Indian Sunderban due to different causes.
Limited sample size and lack of continuous sampling in in-situ study
might be an important cause for the mismatch of data while high surface
turbidity might prevent the sensor or board the satellite from working
efficiently. To use both the method simultaneously, the algorithms are needed
to be improved along with betterment in the sampling process and analysis in in-situ
methods.
