Monitoring Cyanobacteria Bloom in Dianchi Lake Based on Ground-Based Multispectral Remote-Sensing Imaging: Preliminary Results

Some lakes in China have undergone serious eutrophication, with cyanobacterial blooms occurring frequently. Dynamic monitoring of cyanobacterial blooms is important. At present, the traditional lake-survey-based cyanobacterial bloom monitoring is spatiotemporally limited and requires considerable hu...

description Some lakes in China have undergone serious eutrophication, with cyanobacterial blooms occurring frequently. Dynamic monitoring of cyanobacterial blooms is important. At present, the traditional lake-survey-based cyanobacterial bloom monitoring is spatiotemporally limited and requires considerable human and material resources. Although satellite remote sensing can rapidly monitor large-scale cyanobacterial blooms, clouds and other factors often mean that effective images cannot be obtained. It is also difficult to use this method to dynamically monitor and manage aquatic environments and provide early warnings of cyanobacterial blooms in lakes and reservoirs. In contrast, ground-based remote sensing can operate under cloud cover and thus act as a new technical method to dynamically monitor cyanobacterial blooms. In this study, ground-based remote-sensing technology was applied to multitemporal, multidirectional, and multiscene monitoring of cyanobacterial blooms in Dianchi Lake via an area array multispectral camera mounted on a rotatable cloud platform at a fixed station. Results indicate that ground-based imaging remote sensing can accurately reflect the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of cyanobacterial blooms and provide timely and accurate data for salvage treatment and early warnings. Thus, ground-based multispectral remote-sensing data can operationalize the dynamic monitoring of cyanobacterial blooms. The methods and results from this study can provide references for monitoring such blooms in other lakes.
