| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Regarding to primary production, the algorithms for retrieving chlorophyll-a concentration, its absorption coefficient, euphotic zone depth, light diffuse attenuation coefficient etc. were developed for turbid water regions and validated with in-situ measured values. We developed the method distinguishing aquatic macrophytes (floating and emergent) and surface cyanobacterial blooms and applied it to Japanese and Indonesian lakes to analyze the yearly changes in the coverages of aquatic macrophytes. In addition, the method to detect submerged macrophytes was proposed and applied successfully to a Japanese lake. Last, the algorithms for monitoring levels of cyanobacterial blooms using the visual cyanobacteria index and floating algae index and the effective use was validated in Japanese and Indonesian lakes.
