Welkom op het expertplatform!

Dit platform verschaft informatie en kennis omtrent de WL expertisedomeinen 'hydraulica en sediment', 'havens en waterwegen', 'waterbouwkundige constructies', 'waterbeheer' en 'kustbescherming' - gaande van WL medewerkers met hun expertise, het curriculum van deze instelling, tot publicaties, projecten, data (op termijn) en evenementen waarin het WL betrokken is.

Het WL onderschrijft het belang van "open access" voor de ontsluiting van haar onderzoeksresultaten. Lees er meer over in ons openaccessbeleid.

Abstract

Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) surface concentration maps in the Belgian/Dutch coastal zone are retrieved from SeaWiFS images and are corrected using in situ measurements to obtain depth-averaged SPM concentration maps. A spatial correlation analysis of the derived maps shows that the area could be divided into three subregions where the correlations between the SPM concentrations are higher than 70%. Examination of in situ SPM concentration measurements reveals that during about 1/3 of the tidal cycle the SPM concentration is significantly higher than during the rest of the cycle. Strong vertical gradients are sometimes observed during periods with increased SPM concentration. A satellite image taken during such a period would underestimate the depth-averaged SPM concentration. Images taken during other periods better represents (except for some small corrections) the averaged SPM concentration. The methodology for obtaining the depth-averaged SPM concentration maps from surface SPM distributions derived from SeaWiFS images is positive but can be further improved.
