Characterization of Coastal Waters for the Monitoring of Pollution by Means of Remote Sensing; the Use of Satellite Imagery to Establish the Appropriate Pattern for Timing and Location of Sampling in Coastal Waters

摘要: This chapter presents a possible application of remote sensing to establish the pattern sampling required monitor condition coastal waters. The aim is provide dynamic characterization and delimitation differing water masses in estuary rivers Tinto Odiel (Huelva, SW Spain) under specific synoptic conditions. information will allow planning routes which guarantee spatial temporal representativeness. method used for based on simple segmentation one visible band. Standard Principal Components Analysis was zone estuary. results permit series recommendations as how, when, where sample.
