Multi-sensor Satellite Time Series of Optical Properties and Chlorophyll a Concentration in the Adriatic Sea
نویسندگان
چکیده
Advanced remote sensing techniques and algorithms are combined to produce and analyse an improved 12-year multi-sensor time series of bio-optical properties for the Adriatic Sea. First, a multi-sensor series of normalized water-leaving radiance is created with an optically-based merging technique applied to SeaWiFS and MODIS data. Then, two empirical algorithms, embedded in a dynamic algorithm selection scheme, serve to compute the concentration of chlorophyll a (Chla), and distributions of inherent optical properties are obtained with a semi-analytical bio-optical model.

In situ autonomous optical radiometry measurements for satellite ocean color validation in the Western Black Sea
The accuracy of primary satellite ocean color data products from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on-board Aqua (MODIS-A) and the Visible/Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is investigated in the Western Black Sea using in situ measurements from the Gloria site included in the ocean color component of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET-OC). The analysis is also extended...
متن کاملChlorophyll-a Concentration Retrieval in the Optically Complex Waters of the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf Using Principal Component Analysis
Empirical methods based on band ratios to infer chlorophyll-a concentration by satellite do not perform well over the optically complex waters of the St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf. Using a dataset of 93 match-ups, we explore an alternative method relying on empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) to develop an algorithm that relates the satellite-derived remote sensing reflectances to in situ chlo...

متن کاملRecent Trends Towards Oligotrophication of the Northern Adriatic: Evidence from Chlorophyll a Time Series
The results of the updated and quality-checked data base of field observations on chlorophyll a (Chl a) collected in the period 1970–2007 in the Northern Adriatic Sea are presented. From the last decade, SeaWiFS satellite information was also considered. Results demonstrate a global tendency towards Chl a reduction in the period of investigation, which is more marked in the eutrophic area under...
