- Description @en
- The project goal is to produce 3D turbidity profiles of seawater combining optical remote sensing for quantifying the turbidity in the top layer with multi-beam echo-sounding (MBES) for determining suspended matter profiles in the water column down from the position of the echo-sounder. We will develop a method to derive vertical profiles of turbidity from measured MBES backscatter values and merge these with satellite observation derived data.
- Description @
- Het doel van dit project is om 3D turbiditeitsprofielen voor zeewater te produceren, door een combinatie van remote sensing met multi-beam echo-sounding (MBES). We zullen een methode ontwikkelen om verticale turbiditeitsprofielen af te leiden van gemeten MBES backscatter waarden en deze samen te voegen met turbiditeitsgegevens voor het bovenste deel van de waterkolom op basis van satellietobservaties.
