Dataset description
**[EN]** Observations of satellite instruments monitor water depth from cloud-free areas during molten water from Finnish sea areas and lakes.
The depth of vision describes the permeability of water, and its assessment is related, inter alia, to the determination of the level of eutrophication. The depth of vision interpreted from satellite observations is the material in the process development phase and the data on the interface covers examples of observations. The depth of vision will be interpreted from the observations of the Sentinel-2 satellite series MSI instrument (as well as the LanSat-8 OLI instrument, separate metadata) as of 2016. The interpretation shall be made to the nearest 60 metres.
The C2RCC (Case-2 Regional CoastColour) model (Brockmann et al. 2016). The model is openly available through the SNAP software. However, in SYKE’s data, the final result of the model has been adapted to reflect the optical characteristics of Finland’s coastal and lake areas. The arrangement is based on field campaigns and environmental management position sampling on the coast and lakes (the basic principle described in Attila et al., 2013).
Purpose: Monitoring of water quality in the Baltic Sea and Finnish lakes.
The material is part of SYKE’s open data (CC BY 4.0).

**[En]** Satellite observations are used to monitor the Secchi depth from cloudless regions during ice-free periods from Finnish sea areas and lakes.
Secchi depth describes the transparency of the water. The Secchi depth interpreted from the satellite observations is as material in the method development phase and the material consists of sample Interpretations. The interpretation is based on the MSI (Multi-spectral Instrument) of the Sentinel-2 series of the EU Copernicus program (also OLI instrument of the NASA Landsat8 satellite, see separate metadata) starting from year 2016. The interpretation is made with an accuracy of 60 meters.
Secchi depth is estimated from the satellite instrument observations using a neural network model C2RCC (Case-2 Regional CoastColour), (Brockmann et al. 2016). However, in SYKE’s data, the final result of the model has been adapted to correspond to the optical properties of Finland’s coastal and lake areas. The adaptation is based on field campaigns and station sampling (as exemplified e.g. in Attila et al., 2013 but with MERIS observations).

Processing history: The depth of vision has been interpreted from the Sentinel-2 MSI satellite instrument material. The original satellite data has been downloaded from the European Space Agency (ESA) download services. In the heart rate, the visual depth data are calculated using the Case-2 Regional CoastColour (C2RCC).
