Temporal Development of Water Constituents in the Baltic Sea during 2004

Abstract

The Baltic Sea as the largest water is a very important fact for ecosystem assessment in Europe. Therefore it is important for regularly its ecological state on a global range in general and from the wasted zones in particular. MERIS on ENVISAT in its 300 full resolution made is a powerful instrument for this purpose. Due to its high spectral resolution it allows an effective interpretation of complex case-2 waters to which the Baltic Sea belongs. For this purposes the Principal-Component Inversion-Algorithm (PCI) was on to account the specific optical properties of the Baltic Sea. In the DLR there exists now on complete receiving-processing- system for the Full-resolution MERIS Products. This Data Integrate and Management System (DIMS) allows an effective access to he MERIS-data. has the opportunity to use this facility to generate time services over long periods, which is important for climatological investigations. In the presentation there shall be the interpretation Algorithm with the inherent optical model. The MERIS data from 2004 shall be demonstrated and investigated regarding problems statistics, development etc. As a result Maps characterising the state shell be demonstrated.
