1. Introduction
Satellite data are effectively used in the physical characterization of some com-
plex ecosystems, such as the estuarine system of the Kneiss Islands in the Gulf of
Gabes.
Multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing of the bio-optical parameters
can be important data for mapping, classification, and monitoring of the coastal
ecosystems and estuarine areas [1]. Hyperspectral imaging and empirical rela-
tionships between reflectances obtained by optical remote sensing algorithms
have been used to assess water quality [2] [3] [4] [5] [6], allowing chlorophyll a
(Chl-a) and turbidity TU mapping in shallow waters.
Several authors have analysed surface water by applying algorithms or em-
pirical relationships between water constituent and reflectance [1] [7] [8] using
ocean color sensors like SeaWiFS, MERIS, and MODIS. The semi-analytical,
empirical bio-optical models, band ratio or chlorophyll quantification algo-
rithms have been developed mainly according to the concentration range of in
situ Chl-a and turbidity (case I or case II water) and also in terms of the specific
wavelengths available in the multi or hyperspectral sensors (MODIS, SeaWiFS,
EO1, MERIS, SENTINEL, etc.) [9]-[17]. The high spatial resolution and the ex-
cellent Chl-a spectral quality bands of the Sentinel 2A (S2A) data provide clear
and precise information on the optical properties of water. Various turbidity
mapping algorithms have been developed for different regions using multi or
hyperspectral satellite data. The assessment of suspended matter relies on field
spectrometry data merged with the satellite data and is obtained from a combi-
nation of channels at several wavelengths [18] or a single wavelength algorithm
[19]. These applications are suitable for the coastal or estuarine areas at a coarse
spatial resolution (250 m - 1000 m). Besides, Landsat or SPOT data have been
used to retrieve case II water’s optical properties [16] [20].
Inland, coastal and estuarian shallow water area is dependent on the dynamics
of sediments originated by wave erosion, tidal currents, hydrological parameters,
biological and chemical constituent of water. For that this region presents a
complex optical proprieties of case 2 waters, they are influenced by turbidity TU,
Total suspended sediments TSS, dissolved matter, organic matter, microorgan-
ism, inorganic particulates matter from minerals [21].
Monitoring of water quality from remote sensing data depends on the spectral
characteristic of water. So, to have the real optical properties of the water in
shallow water, it is important to apply the atmospheric correction and to remove
the effects of the bottom reflection.
Several atmospheric correction algorithms have been created and used for
case 2 waters. ACOLITE developed to Landsat 8 OLI and S2A (MSI) in two steps:
1) A Rayleigh correction for scattering by air molecules, using a LookUp Table
generated using 6SV. 2) An aerosol correction based on the assumption of black
SWIR bands over water caused by the extremely high pure-water absorption,
and an exponential spectrum for multiple scattering aerosol reflectance [22].
Case 2 Regional Coast Colour processor C2RCC is developed for optically
complex Case 2 waters, which use a large database of simulated water leaving ra-
diance and TOA radiances. It is based on neural network technology and has
been trained in extreme ranges of scattering and absorption properties [23].
Sen2cor available in the Sentinel 2 toolbox more adapted to extract L2 prod-
ucts and classify image often used continental area [24], but also to give good
results in inland and coastal waters [25].
Polynomial based algorithm applied to MERIS POLYMER was developed for
MERIS data to remove the influence of sun glint and retrieve ocean color pa-
rameters and spectrum of water leaving radiance, [26]. As regards the effect of
reflection of the seabed, more correction has been applied [27] [28] and this is to
extract the reflectance of the water column and avoid the overestimation of the
concentrations of the water quality parameters, especially the turbidity [29].
The objectives of this study are to assess the performances of both hyperspec-
tral Hyperion data EO1 and Sentinel 2A data to retrieve Chl-a and TU validated
by in situ observations of these two parameters in estuarine Kneiss archipelago.

that threw itself into the sea and is remodeled by the littoral drift (according to
the configuration of the coast and the direction of the prevailing winds). Sedi-
ments accumulate in this area due to the existence of the high depths of the Gulf
of Gabes [30] [31] [39]. The archipelago region of Kneiss has been listed as
RAMSAR site in 2007, Important Bird Area (IBA) in 2003, and Specially Pro-
tected Area of Mediterranean Importance (SPAMI) in 2001.

is marked by a white line on the composite color image (up). The corresponding radiance
values (W/m2∙str∙µm−1) are displayed for all Hyperion channels (bottom).
2.3. Methodology
Preprocessing, processing, and validation of the in-situ data were carried out on
the EO1 and S2A data. Figure 3 shows a detailed flowchart of the adopted
methodology. Pretreatment was carried out to correct the effects of the atmos-
phere. In fact, the spectral resolution of Hyperion bands makes it necessary to
eliminate the disturbances caused by atmospheric effects (i.e., water vapor,
aerosols). The corrections were based on the 6s software [45] [46] which has a
radiative transfer model in the visible and near-infrared spectrum with a resolu-
tion of 5 nm. In order to speed up the calculations, the second-order spherical
albedo term was discarded. Thus, the atmospheric correction was reduced to a
linear transformation based on absorption and a backscatter term. These coeffi-
cients were considered as constants on a few square kilometre’s scenes.
The corrections depend on three atmospheric parameters: the ozone content,
the water vapor, and the optical thickness at 550 nm. Only the first parameter
was extracted from the climatology provided by 6s. The water vapor content was
provided by the NOAA/NCEP-DOE (https://psl.noaa.gov/) reanalysis. The op-
tical thickness was inferred from the Hyperion measurements at the sea of Gabes
and by reversal of the 6s model. The 6SV 2.1 version was downloaded from
http://6s.ltdri.org site.

3.1. Hyperion EO1 Data
A false RGB (711 nm, 620 nm, and 528 nm) Color composition and continental
mask of the Hyperion data cube is shown in Figure 4.
Four samples of different water color and depth were chosen on the image for
extracting the spectral profile. Samples were taken and materialized by decreas-
ing order of depth. Sampling 1 was located in the deepest part of the study area
at tidal channels (depth of 50 cm), and sample 4 was located in shallow water
(depth of 30 cm). The spectral responses of these different depths clearly show
that a shallow waters mask coinciding with areas of swaying tide must be applied
at the time of the satellite overpass.

Coefficient (R2) resolution
spatial resolution of 10 m and 20 m gave us the best results for the study area for
a slice of water greater than 50 cm with coefficients of determination greater
than 0.68 for both TU and Chl-a. Indeed, the reflection of the seabed was identi-
fied by very high values of chlorophyll concentration and turbidity. The Chl-a
and TU predicted in these areas using EO1 and S2A data clearly delimit the lo-
calities where we might have doubtful results. Moreover, we developed a region
of interest via 2D scatter plot between 665 nm and 865 nm bands to identify and
mask the position of pixels of tidal swing area before processing to eliminate the
effect of background reflections at the moment of the satellite passage.
Despite the fineness of the spectral bands of EO1 (we could use only 39 bands
among the available 220 bands), the reflectance has a very low radiometric qual-
ity, especially in aquatic environments. This can explain the lower coefficients of
determination for the prediction of TU and Chl-a using the EO1 (R2 = 0.57 -
0.63). Table 2 and Table 3 show that wavelengths of the best reflectance or ref-
lectance ratios differ between Hyperion EO1 and Sentinel 2A. Nevertheless, the
ones used for Chl-a (457 nm/528 nm for EO1 and 705 nm/665 nm for Sentinel
2) and for TU (550 nm for EO1 and 665 nm for Sentinel 2) are remarkably simi-
lar to those used in other reported studies.
