The paper investigates the possibility of using the data of the MSI instrument (Sentinel-2) for mapping the concentration of chlorophyll a in the surface layer of internal freshwater bodies using the example of the Novosibirsk Reservoir. The concentration calculation was carried out with the SNAP software using standard neural network algorithms C2RCC and C2X. The obtained values were compared with field data. An analysis of the results showed good agreement between the in situ data and the calculated chlorophyll a concentrations only for the C2X algorithm: the correlation coefficient is 0.77, and the root mean square error is 2.87 mg/m3. The nature of the distribution of chlorophyll a in the surface layer of the reservoir is also consistent with the findings of previous studies that the concentration of chlorophyll a has a very wide range of values (from units to hundreds of mg/m3). On the map of the distribution of chlorophyll a, obtained from satellite data, zones with extremely high concentrations are clearly distinguished: the Berdskiy Bay and Strait, blocked by a dam, in the area of the Chingis village. High concentrations of chlorophyll a in the Berdskiy Bay are confirmed by field data. In the upper part of the Reservoir near the Chingis village, expeditionary measurements were not performed. MSI satellite data can serve as the basis for planning ground-based expeditions, since they allow obtaining maps of the characteristics of the entire water body and identifying zones with the maximum concentration of chlorophyll a.
