Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM, or yellow substance) exists in all natural waters. It can be used as
evaluation indexes for inland water pollution condition. Remote sensing data used for CDOM inversion has its
significant advantages, but the inversion method usually has obvious regional limitations. At present, there is little
CDOM studies have been carried out to the waters in north China. Yuqiao Reservoir, which is in northern Tianjin, was
chosen as the study area, and CDOM was inverted through empirical method for the first time. The data used in this
paper was the spectral reflectance data collected on September 24 and 25, 2013 over the 23 sampling points in Yuqiao
Reservoir and CDOM concentrations (which is represented by the absorption coeffiecnet of CDOM at 440nm,
aCDOM(440)) of each sampling points. Among the 23 sampling points, 16 points were selected randomly as training
samples, and the remaining 7 points were for accuracy test. Four ratios, as Rrs(412)/Rrs(551), Rrs(443)/Rrs(551),
Rrs(490)/Rrs(551) and Rrs(531)/Rrs(551) were used to carry out linear regression with aCDOM(440). At the same time, the
linear regression was also taken between the logs base 10 of the four ratios and log(aCDOM(440)).Then 8 inversion models
were built. The performance of the model based on log(Rrs(490)/Rrs(551)) and log(aCDOM(440)) was the best. The
correlation coefficient R was 0.65. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) was 0.088 and the average relative error (σ)
was 11.9%. It showed that the precision of using the ratio of the Remote sensing reflectance of the blue and green band
to build inversion models for Yuqiao Reservoir was good, and the method was worth popularization and utilization.
