MERIS Phytoplankton Time Series Products from the SW Iberian Peninsula (Sagres) Using Seasonal-Trend Decomposition Based on Loess

Abstract: Abstract:The European Space Agency has acquired 10 years of data on the temporal and spatial distribution of phytoplankton biomass from the MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) sensor for ocean color. The phytoplankton biomass was estimated with the MERIS product Algal Pigment Index 1 (API 1). Seasonal-Trend decomposition of time series based on Loess (STL) identified the temporal variability of the dynamical features in the MERIS products for water leaving reflectance (ρ w (λ)) and API 1. The advant… Show more

“…The STL is an iterative nonparametric procedure that repeatedly uses a locally weighted regression (LOESS) smoother to refine and improve estimates of the S t and T t components. At the end of the STL process, the seasonal and trend components are extracted from the data series (Cristina et al, ). The analysis was performed on the time series of the overall discharges in Lake Iseo and on the time series of the lake chloride concentration recorded in the whole water column (0–250 m) and in the superficial layers (0–10 m).…”

“…The selection of satellite images was restricted to images without clouds and contamination, as indicated by not having specific product confidence (PCD), sun glint, and ice flags. More details on the image selection criteria and full description of flags are reported in Cristina et al (2016a). TChl a concentration (monovinyl Chl a + divinyl Chl a + chlorophyllide a + phaeopigments) was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), according to Wright and Jeffrey (1997), herein referred to as TChl a REF HPLC .…”

“…The MEdium Resolution Image Spectrometer (MERIS) space sensor, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) on-board the ENVISAT platform from 2002 to 2012, has been continuously supported by investigations for the assessment and improvement of data products. Commissioned studies include the validation of radiometric data such as the R rs (Cristina et al, 2014;Kajiyama et al, 2014), as well as the analyses of derived product maps D'Alimonte et al, 2014;Cristina et al, 2016b). These MERIS validation activities have established an important basis to address Earth observation (EO) capabilities through the Ocean Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) sensor launched on the Sentinel-3 satellite in February 2016.…”

“…The joint use of remote sensing biomass observations and ship-of-opportunity fluorescence measurements are a powerful combination to detect changes both in the phytoplankton biomass and composition. Remote sensing, bio-optics, microscopy, and CHEMTAX results provide a combination of analytical tools that can be used to develop a phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) index for marine and coastal waters off the Iberian peninsula, in Portugal (Gohin, 2011b;Cristina et al, 2015Cristina et al, , 2016aGoela et al, 2015).…”
