A new age of satellite remote sensing is upon us. High-tech sensors capable of imaging the earth at over 100 spectral wavebands are now a reality. These sensors, known as hyperspectral radiometers, capture very fine spectral features of the colours emitted from the surface of the earth and its water bodies, offering opportunities for improved satellite-based environmental monitoring. South African researchers are primed and ready to make use of these new technologies to derive water quality parameters from hyperspectral radiometric measurements by applying it towards monitoring our diverse estuaries, dams and oceans. So writes Lisl Lain and Marie Smith of CSIR.
