What is Estimation of Dissolved Organic Carbon from Inland Waters at a Large Scale Using Satellite Data and Machine Learning Methods about?

Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) in inland waters plays an essential role in the global carbon cycle and has significant public health effects. Machine learning (ML) together with remote sensing has emerged as a powerful and promising combination to quantify water quality parameters from space. However, inland water sample data for DOC is limited. Hence, little is known about the potential to quantify DOC content in inland waters, especially over large-scale areas. This study presents the first attempt to estimate DOC in inland waters over a large-scale area using satellite data and ML methods with the newly published open-source dataset AquaSat. Four ML approaches, namely Random Forest Regression (RFR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and a Multilayer Backpropagation Neural Network (MBPNN) were trained using more than 16 thousand samples across the continental United States matched with satellite data from Landsat 5, 7 and 8 missions. Satellite data from the Landsat missions were further extended with environmental data from the ERA5-Land product and used as input to train the ML algorithms. Our results show that including environmental data as in
