| Abstract | Suspended particulate matter concentration (SPM) maps at water-surface were retrieved from 172 SeaWiFS images using the MUMM turbid water extension to the SEADAS4.4 software and a regionally calibrated hydro-optical model. Examination of surface-SPM maps and the depth-averaged SPM derived from a 2D-hydrodynamic and sediment transport model over the BCZ shows interesting similarities. The effect of the neap-spring tide cycle on the satellite-derived SPM distribution is compared to the significant impact of this factor on modeled SPM distributions. Classification of the Belgian waters is carried out using the time-series of SeaWiFS-derived SPM maps and is explained in the light of the SPM transport modelling knowledge. This is preliminary step in this project to provide boundary conditions and initial data of SPM distribution to the coupled model. |
