Short summary
Spectral analyses showed the importance of the blue, green, and NIR wavelengths for submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) discrimination. Moreover, the integration of the blue or the green bands in water vegetation indices (WVIs) increases their discriminating power of SAV. Statistical fits between homologous bands of Sentinel-SMI and Landsat-OLI revealed excellent linear relationships (R2 of 0.999) with insignificant RMSD (≤ 0.0015). Accordingly, MSI and OLI sensors are spectrally similar.
