“…The topics of TSS concentration monitoring and spatial and temporal variation assessment have been paid great attention, and the associated research work has been conducted frequently by a variety of scholars, government branches and society communities (Caballero et al, 2014;Giardino et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2003;Lu et al, 2012;Montanher et al, 2014;Nechad et al, 2010;Olmanson et al, 2013;Pozdnyakov et al, 2005;Rao et al, 2009;Shen et al, 2008;Tang et al, 2004b;Zhang et al, 2007). Many methods can be used to estimate TSS concentrations of water bodies, including hydrologicalsite monitoring, in situ investigation, physical models, numerical simulation, remote sensing and so on (Chen et al, 2015a). Retrieving TSS concentrations from remote sensing data has unique advantages due to the wide spatial coverage and periodic revisit, such as the Land Observation Satellite (Landsat), the Earth-Observing One satellite (EO-1), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), the Sea Viewing Wide Field of View Sensor (SeaWiFS), Systeme Probatoire d'Observation dela Tarre (SPOT) and the Environment and Disaster Monitoring and Forecasting Small Satellite Constellation (HJ).…”
