Abstract. The main applications of ocean colour satellite data in the Baltic Sea (Case 2 water) are coastal discharge and phytoplankton blooms. These processes generate the variations of optically active water constituents. The phytoplankton development is characterised by a spring bloom of diatoms and dinoflagellates, and a summer bloom of nitrogen-fixating cyanobacteria. The blooms depend strongly on the meteorological conditions. Distribution of river discharge was intensely investigated in the Pomeranian Bight, the Oder River discharge area. Satellite data of different spectral and spatial resolution has been used. Information on oceanographic conditions was derived from Sea Surface Temperature. The implementation of satelenables to transfer detailed ship-borne measurements to larger spatial and temporal scales.

The western Baltic Sea infront of the German coast is a highly variable dynamical system, dominated by a complex and small-scale morphometry, the water exchange between the Baltic and North Seas, and driven by local wind. Neither data collection, nor satellite images or model simulations alone were able to explain the observed spatial patterns and transport processes. Therefore, all these methods were combined to explain the dynamical features and to systematise them according to the typical local wind pattern and time series. The aim was to develop an instrument for regional authorities which supports the interpretation of coastal water monitoring data and forms a basis for an improved monitoring strategy. Satellite data of sea surface temperature and ocean colour from the sensors NOAA-AVHRR and SeaWiFS were applied for synoptic investigations in the entire region and Landsat-7-ETM+ for regional studies. Model simulations were performed for the western Baltic using a 3D model MOM-3 and for the Szczecin Lagoon using 2D model FEMFLOW. For the first time, regional particularities in the coastal dynamical features and processes are derived for the main wind directions and for transitions between dominant wind situations west and east as derived from wind statistics. The simulated transport of particles released from different coastal and open sea sources indicate the affected areas during changing forcing conditions. The results support the interpretation of acquired coastal monitoring data as well as the assessment and optimisation of the monitoring programme.
