REDIAM. WMS AQUA MODIS Satellite Imagery Series. K490 (Water Transparency) annual filtered average: Year 2012. 1 100 m. Atlantic Ocean and Alboran Sea

Node of the Environmental Information Network of Andalusia. Junta de Andalucia. Average annual image of k490 (Water Transparency) (Diffuse attenuation coefficient of light in water for the wavelength of 490 nm) captured by the MODIS (Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) sensor on board the AQUA satellite for 2012. Spatial resolution of 1 100 m. In ETRS89 UTM spindle 30. In order to obtain annual images of k490 (Water Transparency) (m-1) on the Andalusian coast. The diffuse attenuation coefficient in the water indicates how light is attenuated within the water column, which helps to characterise the transparency of the water and therefore estimate the turbidity state of the waters of the Andalusian coast. In addition, this parameter has many applications in ocean optics, such as its relationship with the concentration of phytoplankton and organic and inorganic sediments dissolved in marine water. Node of the Environmental Information Network of Andalusia. Junta de Andalucia. Integrated into the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Andalusia, following the guidelines of the Andalusian Cartographic System.
