SHALLOW BATHYMETRY EVERYWHERE

Data are extracted within an area of interest surrounding the bathymetric profile... This project demonstrates a method for creating satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) through fusion of Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and ICESat-2 Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) data. NASA's ICESat-2, which carries a single-photon, green-wavelength (532 nm) lidar, serves as the reference data from which bathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) can be produced using a ratio between logarithms of blue and green OLI bands. Previous work by the Oregon State University team that inspired this project is described in detail in recent publications in Remote Sensing and Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing...
