HYPSTAR hyperspectral water reflectance and derived water quality products (suspended particulate matter and chlorophyll-a concentration) at the Blankaart surface water reservoir (BE)

Hyperspectral Water Leaving Reflectance spectra (2988) measured between 2021-02-03 and 2022-08-03 at the Blankaart Surface Water Reservoir (Belgium, 50.98857N, 2.835213E) with the HYPSTAR® (ID: HYPSTAR_12120241). Detailed description of the data collection, processing and analysis can be found in Goyens et al.- Remote Sens. 2022 - 14(21)- 5607; https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14215607.

Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration and Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) were derived from the above dataset of hyperspectral water reflectance and estimated according to different algorithms found in the litterature, i.e.,

HYPSTAR_W_BSBE_CHLA_SIMIS_20210203_20220803_v1.csv: Chlorophyll-a concentration estimated from the HYPSTAR® reflectance measurements and following the algorithm suggested by Simis et al. (2005; https://doi.org/10.4319/lo.2005.50.1.0237) with a variable absorption coefficient of phytoplankton per unit of Chl-a concentration as described in Goyens et al. (2022)

HYPSTAR_W_BSBE_CHLA_CRAT_20210203_20220803_v1.csv: Chlorophyll-a concentration estimated with the HYPSTAR® reflectance measurements and following the algorithm suggested by Ruddick et al. (2001; https://doi.org/10.1364/AO.40.003575.) with a variable absorption coefficient of phytoplankton per unit of Chl-a concentration as described in Goyens et al. (2022)

HYPSTAR_W_BSBE_SPM_20210203_20220803_v1.csv: Suspended particulate matter estimated with the HYPSTAR® reflectance measurements and following the algorithm suggested by Nechad et al. (2010) at 700 nm
