摘要：

As important components of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in an aquatic environment, colored DOM (CDOM) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) play an essential role in the carbon cycle of an inland aquatic system. Traditionally, CDOM and DOC in inland waters have been primarily determined using in situ observations and laboratory measurements. Most of past lake investigations on CDOM and DOC focused on easily accessible regions and covered a small fraction of lakes worldwide. To our knowledge, little is known about lakes in less accessible areas like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). To address this challenge, optical satellite remote sensing might be useful for capturing a synoptic view of CDOM and DOC with high frequency at large scales, complementing in situ sampling methods for inland waters. In this study, 216 samples collected from 36 lakes across the QTP (2014-2017) were examined to determine the relationships between CDOM absorption coefficient at 350 nm (a(350)) and Sentinel-2A Multi Spectral Instrument (MSI) imagery reflectance data. A strong positive linear correlation with a(350) was observed with B4/B2 (R-2 = 0.78, p < 0.01) and with B4/B3 (R-2 = 0.62). A multi-step regression model was established for estimating a(350) with B4/B2 and B4/B3 as input variables (R-2 = 0.81, p < 0.01). A scattered CDOM-DOC relationship was revealed (R-2 = 0.34, p < 0.05) using a pooled dataset. By dividing the inland waters into four separate groups in accordance with their salinity gradients, we were able to develop much stronger relationships (R-2 > 0.8, p < 0.01) for CDOM-DOC. Significant differences between fresh and saline waters were demonstrated using satellite-derived CDOM and DOC, where high CDOM (0.86 +/- 0.67 m(-1)) and low DOC (3.76 +/- 4.92 mg L-1) concentrations were observed for freshwaters, while inverse trends of CDOM (0.53 +/- 0.72 m(-1)) and DOC (15.76 +/- 17.07 mg L-1) were demonstrated for saline lakes in the Tibetan Plateau. This study confirmed that satellite optical imagery can be used for the monitoring of CDOM and DOC of the lakes of the Tibetan Plateau, which are sensitive to a changing climate and are infrequently investigated due to the harsh environment and poor accessibility. Moreover, it highlighted the importance of combining salinity and remote sensing data in the process of estimating lake DOC.
