Abstract
Previous studies have recognized that traditional empirical water quality remote sensing models are region-specific and lack spatial transferability and temporal repeatability, which prevents the mapping and monitoring inland water quality at a large regional or basin scale. This research evaluates the spatial transferability and temporal repeatability of our multi-predictor ensemble learning model in comparison with traditional empirical models. Our evaluations show that the multi-predictor ensemble model not only substantially improves the prediction accuracy in comparison with traditional individual empirical models, but also has strong spatial and temporal extensibility. The multi-predictor ensemble model calibrated at one specific place and at one certain time can be transferred and re-used in other places and in different time periods with reliable and accurate predictions. The strong spatial and temporal extensibility of the multi-predictor ensemble model is largely attributed to the selective strategy for combining component model results according to the spectral-space partition, which makes the ensemble model dynamically adaptable to a wide range of water conditions over space and time.
