[Evaluating eutrophic state of Taihu Lake by in situ hyperspectra]

In situ experiments including water quality analyzing and spectra measuring were conducted on Jun., 2004 and Aug., 2004 in Taihu Lake for 21 samples. Then eutrophic state of Taihu Lake was evaluated by measured hyperspectra data, and the evaluating index was eutrophic state index (TSI). Firstly, the simulation model of water reflectance was built by analytic model using inherent optical properties (IOPs). Then Chlorophyll a content (Chl-a) was inversed by optimizing method by Matlab software; Secondly, TSI was calculated by inversed Chl-a, and the eutrophic state of Taihu Lake was evaluated by using ArcView' s interpolation function. The evaluation figures show that: there are notable differences between Jun., 2004 and Aug., 2004. The proportion of mesotropher state is as high as 61% in June, while the proportion of light eutrophic is as high as 52% in August. In totally, the most serious eutrophic state occurs in north of Taihu Lake. Eutrophlic state wears off from north to south. The lowest eutrophic region is in the east of Taihu Lake.
