App #1: Eutrophication monitoring (optimisation)
Reorganisation of BE monitoring network
2006: Satellite data used to optimise sampling,
but not trusted for actual monitoring
2011: Further reduction of resources, increase in
monitoring needs => interest in satellite data for
actual monitoring (+species detection??)

Applications
Research leads to use of optical remote sensing for:
– Marine science support (e.g. NRT for cruise ships,
multitemporal composites, time series extraction via web site)
– Ecosystem functioning, aquaculture and fisheries (e.g. primary
production maps, algae bloom timing, monthly CHL)
– Eutrophication (OSPAR/WFD) via forcing/validation of
ecosystem modelling (AMORE-3) and optimising sampling
– Sediment transport support via initialisation/validation of
models
– HAB group support (Marcoast, ICES, AMORE-3)
– pCO2 and CO2 fluxes
– Inland waters

Validation completed incorporating MUMM's reflectance data base until end of 2008
Five algorithms compared (MUMM, NIR-6.1, SWIR-6.1, MOD09, ANN)
SeaDAS 6.1 standard atmospheric correction significantly improved compared to v5.4 (major changes introduced with v6.0)
Results indicate overall best performance of ANN algorithm at all time differences ±30, ±60, ± 120, ±180 min to satellite over pass

• Particle size distributions (PSDs) observed in
the Southern North Sea show a power-law „flat‟
distribution in the TCZ and SCZ while a bimodal
distribution with peaks at 7 and 200 m is
observed in the MSNS.
• Mie computations were used to explain the
occurrence of the cp spectral negative slopes.
The observed PSDs were used as inputs.
• Results show that cp follows a power-law shape
with positive cp in the SCZ and TCZ.
• a negative cp is obtained for the MSNS with
absorbing particles
• when modifying the PSD of the MSNS by
removing the peak at 7 m, the result is a
positive cp as in the TCZ.
• when removing the peak at 200 m from the
MSNS PSD, the result is a negative cp
=> the negative cp results from the bloom of
phytoplankton particles of size 7 m.

Is there a general algorithm for TSM estimation from satellites?
Hydrolight simulations
Non linear regression (NLR)
analysis to fit (Rrs//TSM)SIOP,GEO
(1) Rrs = G TSM / (A – TSM/C)
using (1), parameterise:
Saturation
Sensitivity
Uncertainties due to SIOPs
and sun/viewing geometry

PP algo performance [Rousseau et al, in prep]
• Regional algorithm based on specific data
• Hyp: PBmax, αB and Kd(PAR) are constant along the day; Salinity > 31
• Good predictive models for PBmax, αB and Kd(PAR) Good for PP
But need to improve the description of PBmax
• GPP vs NPP : respiration taken into account : coupling with 3D-MIRO model
• Climatology vs In situ measurements of Et (satellite) and z (3D-model)

App #8: La Plata: TSM and Turbidity maps
(BELCOLOUR-ARG) A band-difference TSM and turbidity algorithm was developed based on
Nechad et al. (2009/10) one-band algorithm.
Good results were obtained for low Turbidity (<100 NFU)

Future perspectives:
- Improve atmospheric
correction algorithm to
apply one-band TSM
algorithms
- Start collecting in situ
radiometric measurements

Automation of image processing (1/2)
Flexible software to process satellite imagery
– New region: 4 bounding coordinates
– MODIS/SeaWiFS
– MERIS RR and FR
– Custom products easily implemented (TSM, Kd)
Outputs
– gridded scenes (NetCDF/png)
– daily and multitemporal binning
– time-series
Fast
– processing 8 years of MODIS data for SNS: 20 minutes
– extraction of time-series, mean maps: matter of seconds
