FUI Water Color product of inland waters in China at 30-m in 2015

The first 30-meters FUI water color product of China. The product was developed using time-series Landsat 8 imagery and FUI water color retrieval method. Taking into account the huge amount of computational and storage space required for the national-scale water color mapping, the high-performance Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud-based platform was introduced to support the computation. First, a cloud-free composite in China for the summer of 2015 was generated using time-series Landsat-8 imagery and the Best-Available-Pixel (BAP) compositing algorithm. Then, the first 30-merters FUI water color product of China was developed using the generated BAP composite and the Google Earth Engine computing platform. The first 30-meters FUI water color product can promote the understanding of the water color of water bodies in China, and provide very important information for preserving and restoring inland water quality.
