Figure 2. Averaged ASD surface relative reflectance spectra (red line) vs. Averaged CASI reflectance spectra (N = 16) (dotted blue line) for Harsha Lake with CASI data normalized to ASD at 550 nm. Wavelength in nm. They correspond well over the 425 and 865 nm wavelength range used in our study. One can even see a slight depression in the CASI spectra at 620 nm that corresponds to the phycocyanin absorption feature.
