Suspended Matter Dynamics in Lake Constance in 2003 Derived from Meris and Modis Satellite Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lake Constance is the third largest lake in Central Europe. The river Rhine, which passes the lake, imports a significant amount of mineralic particles. Their transport and sedimentation within the lake is of importance for a number of applications, for example ship traffic, pumping stations for extraction of drinking water, hydraulic engineering, fishery, and ecology. Only satellites offer a cost-effective way for obtaining time series of the spatial distribution of suspended matter in such a large lake. The potential of satellitebased monitoring of suspended matter is investigated using MERIS and MODIS time series from 2003, addressing two specific questions: (1) Are these sensors suited to derive useful time series of mediumand large-scale patterns of suspended matter in Lake Constance? (2) Are the quantitative results from the two sensors comparable?

Water Quality Monitoring of Large European Lakes Using Meris Full Resolution Data
In order to complement present water quality monitoring of large lakes, we have attempted to make use of satellite imagery. In addition to ocean color sensors SeaWiFS and MODIS, lately MERIS images also became available. Here we analyze 18 almost cloud free full resolution atmospherically corrected MERIS images over the large European lakes Vättern, Vänern and Peipsi, where water type ranges fr...

Parameters measured include the total suspended sediment (T...
متن کاملLarge-scale Forest Fires in Siberia Analysed by Modis, Meris and Aster Multiresolution Satellite Imagery
Exceptionally large fires were observed in Southern Siberia in 2003. Persistent cloud cover and orbit parameters did not allow observation of large areas with high resolution imagery shortly after the fires. Therefore we used a combination of high, medium and low resolution satellite imagery in which Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was used to record fire occurrence each d...

Multiple comprehensive in situ bio-optical investigations were conducted from 2005 to 2010 and covered a large variability of total suspended matter (TSM) in Lake Taihu to calibrate and validate a TSM concentration estimation model based on Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) data. The estimation model of the TSM concentration in Lake Taihu was developed using top-of-atmosphere (TOA)...
