Multi-source high-resolution satellite products in Yangtze Estuary: cross-comparisons and impacts of signal-to-noise
Abstract:
In this study, cross-comparisons of the reflectance at the top of atmosphere (ρTOA), atmospherically corrected water-leaving reflectance (Rrs), and suspended sediment matter (SPM) concentration derived from three high spatial resolution sensors (Landsat-8/OLI, Sentinel-2A/MSI and GF-1/WFV) were conducted. The purpose was to examine the consistency among multi-source satellite products and their potential to fill the temporal gap of high-resolution satellites time series. Geostationary ocean color imager (GOCI) data and in situ data were used to verify the accuracy and reliability of the high-resolution satellite derived products. The results showed that the ρTOA and Rrs data of high-resolution sensors were consistent with GOCI data, especially at the red spectral ranges. The satellite-derived SPM concentrations exhibited good agreement and acceptable errors when compared with both GOCI-derived and in situ SPM data. With regard to the influence of the signal-to-noise ratios, the results showed that the radiometric sensitivities of GF-1/WFV and Landsat-8/OLI were relatively high and presented minimally detectable variations greater than 0.06% in the ρTOA and 0.5 mg/L in the SPM concentration for solar zenith angles < 30°. However, the spatial resolution's impact on the SPM data can be greater than that of the signal-to-noise ratio for turbid waters.

Cross Product
The magnitude of the cross product is obtained by multiplying the magnitude of both the vectors and the sine of the angle between them. This means that a larger angle between the vectors will lead to a greater magnitude of the cross product.
