Water turbidity daily product for the Baltic Sea 2003-2011

Satellite remote sensing is used to monitor turbidity of surface water in the Baltic Sea during the open water season from April to October. Turbidity represents the clarity of the water. Turbidity is caused by phytoplankton, minerals or dead organic matter in water. A daily turbidity product is calculated in the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) using Envisat MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) 3rd Reprocessing data. Satellite data have been processed to turbidity values using C2R (Case 2 Regional) algorithm. The dataset covers years 2003-2011. The spatial resolution is 300 meters.

    Suomen ympäristökeskuksessa (SYKE) seurataan satelliittikuvilta Itämeren sameutta sulan veden aikaan. Veden sameus koostuu vedessä olevista pienistä hiukkasista (kasviplankton, mineraalit tai kuollut orgaaninen aines). Sameuden määrä on laskettu Envisat MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) -instrumentin 3rd Reprocessing -datasta käyttäen C2R (Case 2 Regional) -vedenlaatuprosessoria. Aineisto koostuu vuosien 2003-2011 päivittäisistä kuvista. Kuvien maastoerotuskyky on 300 metriä. Aineisto kuuluu SYKEn avoimiin aineistoihin (CC BY 4.0).
