REDIAM. WMS EnVISAT MERIS satellite image series from Chlorophyll-a: Year 2012. 300 m. Andalusia

Node of the Environmental Information Network of Andalusia. Junta de Andalucia. Satellite images ENVISAT MERIS of chlorophyll-a of the year 2012. Spatial resolution 300 m. Scope Andalusia. In ETRS89 UTM spindle 30. With the aim of obtaining a monitoring of the quality of the water reservoirs in order to have a rapid response to states of pollution that allows to respond to the needs of water management of reservoirs. In this sense, the mean behavior of chlorophyll-a (mg/cm³), of the main reservoirs of the region (72 reservoirs are studied), is obtained through the calculation of a standardised index, developed with the band 5 (560 nm) and band 2 (442 nm) of the MERIS sensor. This parameter allows the estimation of the concentration of phytoplankton and indirectly of the biological activity, in addition to being used as a tool for monitoring the eutrophication processes in the monitoring of the quality of the reservoired waters.
