Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
During the Remote Sensing North Sea (1988-1989) REMONO and Particular Matter North Sea (1993-1995) PMNS campaigns carried out at the Netherlands Institute of Sea Research many optical (e.g. radiance L, irradiance E, superficial reflectance R(+) and subsurface reflectance R(-) calculated values) and non-optical (e.g. Bio-geochemical and physical parameters) have been measured and stored in a comprehensive Information system (an Optical data Bank) for further processing. All year semi-empirical Ocean Colour algorithms applied to Coastal zone environments have been developed during the PMNS project using surface reflectance values R(+) acquired with the Spectrascan Spectracolorimeter (PR650). These algorithms were developed using the suitable channels for the new forthcoming ocean colour satellites (SeaWIFS, MERIS) and the visible channel of NOAA-AVHRR. The ratio R(+)/R(-) was also determined during this project. During the REMONO project subsurface reflectance values R(-) were calculated from the measurements below the water by the Advanced Spectral Irradiance Meter (ASIR). Non-optical parameters such as Chlorophyll, Total suspended matter and Dissolved organic matter have also been collected. In this research we tried to use the PMNS algorithms with the REMONO data. A transformation of the R(+) algorithms to algorithms that use subsurface irradiance R(-) values was necessary for this because the information used has been derived from subsurface radiance R(-) values. Therefore a preliminary transformation was made in order to obtain the PMNS algorithms as functions of R(-) values. Statistical analyses have been applied to this transformed algorithms by validating the predicted values against measured in-situ data collected during the REMONO campaign. A selection of spectra has been made in order to increase the accuracy of our analysis. Finally a new validation was performed to establish the applicability of these algorithms over specific in situ data. |
