The chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration in lakes is a crucial parameter for monitoring water quality and assessing phytoplankton abundance. However, accurately retrieving Chl-a concentrations remains a significant challenge in remote sensing. To address the limitations of existing methods in terms of modeling efficiency and adaptability, this study focuses on Lake Nanyi in Anhui Province. By integrating Sentinel-2 satellite imagery with in situ water quality measurements and employing the AutoML framework AutoGluon, a Chl-a inversion model based on narrow-band spectral features is developed. Feature selection and model ensembling identify bands B6 (740 nm) and B7 (783 nm) as the optimal combination, which are then applied to multi-temporal imagery from October 2022 to generate spatial mean distributions of Chl-a in Lake Nanyi. The results demonstrate that the AutoGluon framework significantly outperforms traditional methods in both model accuracy (R2: 0.94, RMSE: 1.67 &mu:g/L) and development efficiency. The retrieval results reveal spatial heterogeneity in Chl-a concentration, with higher concentrations observed in the southern part of the western lake and the western side of the eastern lake, while the central lake area exhibits relatively lower concentrations, ranging from 3.66 to 21.39 &mu:g/L. This study presents an efficient and reliable approach for lake ecological monitoring and underscores the potential of AutoML in water color remote sensing applications.
