Using reflectance data and water sample data from 75 stations in several eutrophiclakes of East China (Lake Taihu, Lake Gehu, Lake Dongjiu) between 23 April and 3 May2010, we evaluated several recently proposedremote sensing algorithms to estimate chlorophyll-a concentrations (Chla, 1.0 –42 μg/L) and phycocyanin pigment concentrations (PC, 0.1 – 7.7 μg/L). Theselakes experience phytoplankton blooms of the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa every year due to eutrophication. It was found that after local tuning ofthe algorithm parameterizations,most algorithms yielded acceptable results for Chla retrievals while accuratePC retrievals were more challenging due to changing speciescomposition (PC:Chla ratios) and low PC concentrations. For the dataranges in the study region, the best Chla algorithm yieldedRMSErel (RelativeRoot MeanSquare Error) of ~46% (R2=0.92,n=75)and the best PC algorithm yielded RMSErelof ~83% (R2=0.88, n=75). Based on these observations,it is recommended that local tuning of algorithm parametersshould be performed for remote sensingapplications, and future efforts should emphasize on application of the algorithms to satellite data.
