We studied the changes of total suspended matter (TSM) distribution in Estonian coastal sea with special focus onPaldiskiharbor at the Pakri Bay (SW Gulf Of Finland). The purpose of current study was to examine the suitability of remote sensing data for detection of turbidity differences caused by dredged sediments on monthly mean surface TSM concentration, retrieved from satellite images. The MERIS (FSG) products with 300m resolution and MODIS band 1 data with 250m resolution from years 2006-2010 were used in theanalysis. MERIS images were processed using the Case-2 water processors available in BEAM software. Validation of the two processors (C2R and FUB) with in situ measurements of TSM gave reliable correlation between satellite data and in situ TSM measurements: r 2 was 0.43 for FUB processor and 0.47 for C2R processor. An empirical algorithm was established for conversion of MODIS band 1 reflectance (620-670 nm) data to TSM concentration. We found reliable (r 2 =0.43) relationship between MODIS reflectance at band 1and TSM concentration measured fromwater samples. The monthly average TSM maps in the harbor region were calculated from MERIS and MODIS data using validated conversion algorithms in order to describe TSM variability and to analyzeenvironmental impact of dredging. |
