Symposium on Remote Sensing for Resources Development and Environmental Management / Enschede / August 1986 699 The JRC program for marine coastal monitoring J.A.Bekkering Joint Research Centre, Ispra (Varese), Italy ABSTRACT: An overview is given of the result of the JRC activity "Coastal Transport of Pollution", since its start in 1980. It covers essentially RS from space, in-situ measurements and modeling relative to its main test site, the Northern Adriatic Sea. The activity is strongly based on a collaboration with institutes and organizations of the EC member-states. For the near-future the CTP envisages to extend its collaboration, in particular concerning the modeling effort. INTRODUCTION Since 1976 the JRC , together with many national institutions, is engaged in an effort to investigate the possibilities to monitor the marine ambience from space. The effort started in the wake of the Barcelona Convention of 1975 ,which was organized by the UNO to favor an international collaboration to limit and reduce the disastrously increasing pollution in the Mediterranean basin. The first major enterprise of the activity was the EURASEP OCS Experiment, held in the North Sea in 1977, and essentially meant as a simulation experiment for the CZCS, to be launched in 1978. In 1980, in the frame of the new multiannual research program of the JRC, the activity has been baptised "Coastal Transport of Pollutant" (CTP) and its scope has been redefined. For practical reasons, mainly based on meteorological conditions and on its vicinity to the JRC ,the Northern Adriatic sea has been selected as the main test site. Eversince the objective of this Communitarian activity has been to collaborate on the development of an operative system, based mainly on RS from space, capable of monitoring and forecasting major marine events in coastal area's, like plankton production, algae blooms, transport, transformation and degradation of pollutants and nutrients, sedimentation and resuspension of suspended matter, etc. The system is meant as an aid to the management of marine resources and environment. Presently the activity is stil confined to the Adriatic sea and up to now only spaceborne sensors operating in the visible and IR are evaluated. The CTP activity is engaged in a continuous effort to get as many national institutions as possible collaborating or participating in the project. The collaboration can have many different forms, but roughly 3 main forms can be distinguished: - concerted action, in which the action has been agreed between the partners, but each is responsible for his own part, technically and financially, - shared cost, in which the JRC bears a part of the cost sustained by one of the partners, essentially meant as an encouragement to start the action or to adapt it to a common goal, - contract, in which the JRC bears the full cost and just acquires the service or the product. The activity has 3 major branches : - Remote Sensing from space, - Continous and discontinuous in-situ measurements, - A computer run model The JRC personnel involved in the CTP is around 13 man.year/year and the activity is roughly subdivided as follows : - Development of procedures and algorithms for the processing of spaceborn sensor data : B.Sturm, S.Tassan - Biological and optical in-situ measurements, data elaboration and evaluation : P.Schlittenhardt, M.Ooms - Atmospheric mearurements and evaluation : G.Maracci - Chemical measurements and evaluation : G.Ferrari - Management of the activity CTP : J.A.Bekkering The image processing software has been developed in a joint effort with the activities involved in land application of RS , and special reference is made here to - System management of the image processing facility: B.Dorpema - Coordination of application software development: W.Mehl A part of the work has been executed by persons or institutions outside the JRC; whenever the case they will be quoted together with the description of the work SPACE BORN SENSORS -Nimbus 7 - CZCS For completeness the most salient characteristics of the CZCS are listed in table 1, and the spectral ranges are indicated in figure 1. A fundamental problem with marine application of RS is the fact that so few radiation is reflected out ot the water. Even on a clear bright day only some 20% of the radiation arriving at the sensor originates from the Table 1 The most salient characteristics of used sensors Sensor CZCS AVHRR(4) AVHRR(5) TM Satellite Nimbus 7 NOAA 6 NOAA 9 Landsat 5 height 950 833 870 709 km inclination 99.24 98.74 98.90 98.25 dgr equat time 11.50 (n) 7.30 (s) 14.30 (n) 9.45 (s) pixel leng. 800 1100 1100 30 m width 800 800 800 30 m swath 1400 2400 2400 180 km daily cov. .5 .8 .8 .07 launch 24.10.78 27.6.79 8.11.84 5.3.82 (n)= North bound
