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??)

In situ: 4-10 data/year, Satellite: 30-40 data/year

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

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

the mouth of the Scheldt and values computed with the algorithm

(pCO2@10°C = f(SSS; Chla) based on the 2008 Belcolour data-set shows the

ability to reconstitute a full annual cycle of pCO2. The two outsiders are due to

SSS value outside range of algorithm application, and suspicious input value

• 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.

• Good predictive models for PBmax, αB and Kd(PAR) Good for PP
