Bio-optical monitoring of coastal Baltic Sea waters – from research to applications

Remote sensing and bio-optical parameters can be used as indicators for eutrophication and as diagnostic tool in coastal zone management. Quality controlled water quality maps have been derived for the NW Baltic Sea, and are implemented in an operational monitoring system. This is done in collaboration with the water quality project operated by Vattenfall Power Consultant (www.vattenkvalitet.nu). The leading idea is that the development in coastal remote sensing has now come to a stage, where we can start implementing the research results into operational monitoring systems, using certain optical parameters as prime indicators for water quality. Susanne Kratzer is coordinator of the Nordic Network for AquaticRemote Sensing (www.NordAquaRemS.org), and will also present recent activities within NordAquaRemS and the ESA MERIS coastal validation team.
