| Summary: | Total suspended sediment (TSS) plays a significant role in the environment. Many researchers
show that TSS has a high correlation with the red portion of the visible light spectrum. The correlation
is highly dependent on geography of the study area. The aim of this study was to develop
specific algorithms utilizing corrected MODIS Terra 250-m surface reflectance (Rrs) product
(MOD09) to map TSS over the Penang coastal area. Field measurements of TSS were performed
during two cruise trips that were conducted on 8 December 2008 and 29 January 2010 over the
Penang coastal area. The relationship between TSS and the surface reflectance of MOD09 was
analysed using regression analysis. The developed algorithm showed that Rrs are highly correlated
with the in-situ TSS with R2 is 0.838. The result shows that the Rrs product could be used to estimate
TSS over the Penang area. |
