Opis

Satellite based hyperspectral remote sensing of coral reefs can be used for ecomorphological zonation and species discrimination if sufficient in situ spectra of various coral species were available. However, correcting for atmospheric and water column interference is essential to isolate the relevant signal and to detect submerged reef features. The book presents a novel application of coupled radiative transfer correction of hyperspectral data for study sites of Agatti Island in Lakshadweep Sea and Boat and Flat Islands in the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, India.
