“…This method of data acquisition and data extraction has been used in numerous studies that focused on mapping different phenomena or on particular properties that occur or are revealed on the Earth's surface, such as mining activities (Cutaia, Massacci, & Roselli, 2004;Lobo, Costa, & Novo, 2015), water quality parameters and temperature (Bonansea et al, 2015;Ding & Elmore, 2015;Tebbs, Remedios, & Harper, 2013), water surface extent and dynamics (Mueller et al, 2016) and mapping major flood events (Bhatt et al, 2016;Cutaia et al, 2004;Sakai et al, 2015;Sandholt et al, 2003;Thomas et al, 2015;Tulbure et al, 2016;Wang, 2004;Yang et al, 2015).…”

Using open-source satellite imagery like Landsat TM, ETM+ and Sentinel 2 can lead to accurate cartographic products. We mapped flood events from Siret and Prut river basins in the last 30 years based on the availability of Landsat data archive. In this area were recorded historical values in flow rates for the entire Romanian territory: 4650 m³/s on the Siret River in 2005 -the maximum value ever recorded for Romania; 4240 m³/s on the Prut in 2008 -second maximum value recorded for Romania. The most powerful floods that took place in Romania in the last years were in

“…The temperature of the sea surface is an important parameter in the upper ocean that governs biological activity, the exchange of gas, heat, and momentum with the atmosphere [44], ecological and biogeochemical processes; it controls water metabolism and specifies the habitat area for aquatic life [68]. Information about SST is required by scientific, commercial, and social interest activities [69], such as weather forecasting, air-sea interaction modeling, climate change studies, fisheries, and coastal zone management [44].…”

Oceans/Seas are important components of Earth that are affected by global warming and climate change. Recent studies have indicated that the deeper oceans are responsible for climate variability by changing the Earth's ecosystem; therefore, assessing them has become more important. Remote sensing can provide sea surface data at high spatial/temporal resolution and with large spatial coverage, which allows for remarkable discoveries in the ocean sciences. The deep layers of the ocean/sea, however, cannot be directly detected by satellite remote sensors. Therefore, researchers have examined the relationships between salinity, height, and temperature of the oceans/Seas to estimate their subsurface water temperature using dynamical models and model-based data assimilation (numerical based and statistical) approaches, which simulate these parameters by employing remotely sensed data and in situ measurements. Due to the requirements of comprehensive perception and the importance of global warming in decision making and scientific studies, this review provides comprehensive information on the methods that are used to estimate ocean/sea subsurface water temperature from remotely and non-remotely sensed data. To clarify the subsurface processes, the challenges, limitations, and perspectives of the existing methods are also investigated.

“…There are direct, first-order relationships between atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, air temperatures, and Chesapeake Bay water temperatures (Wood, Boesch, and Kennedy 2002). In some areas of the Bay, water temperatures are increasing faster than air temperatures (Ding and Elmore 2015). Following this trajectory, the Chesapeake Bay is likely to develop characteristics of a subtropical estuary by the next century.…”

“…Local water temperatures will continue to depend upon circulation patterns that affect ocean mixing, precipitation, and other factors, all of which are impacted by climate change. The largest and most inconsistent warming will occur in shallow waters, where submerged vegetation grow, as well as in areas affected by urbanization (Ding and Elmore 2015). For many species of Chesapeake Bay SAV, even moderate warming can be problematic (Somero 2002;Hughes et al 2003; also see Campbell, McKenzie, and Kerville 2006;Lee, Park, and Kim 2007).…”

Introduction: The Chesapeake Bay was once renowned for expansive meadows of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). However, only 10% of the original meadows survive. Future restoration efforts will be complicated by accelerating climate change, including physiological stressors such as a predicted mean temperature increase of 2-6°C and a 50-160% increase in CO 2 concentrations. Outcomes: As the Chesapeake Bay begins to exhibit characteristics of a subtropical estuary, summer heat waves will become more frequent and severe. Warming alone would eventually eliminate eelgrass (Zostera marina) from the region. It will favor native heat-tolerant species such as widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima) while facilitating colonization by non-native seagrasses (e.g., Halodule spp.). Intensifying human activity will also fuel coastal zone acidification and the resulting high CO 2 /low pH conditions may benefit SAV via a "CO 2 fertilization effect." Discussion: Acidification is known to offset the effects of thermal stress and may have similar effects in estuaries, assuming water clarity is sufficient to support CO 2 -stimulated photosynthesis and plants are not overgrown by epiphytes. However, coastal zone acidification is variable, driven mostly by local biological processes that may or may not always counterbalance the effects of regional warming. This precarious equipoise between two forcesthermal stress and acidification -will be critically important because it may ultimately determine the fate of cool-water plants such as Zostera marina in the Chesapeake Bay. Conclusion: The combined impacts of warming, coastal zone acidification, water clarity, and overgrowth of competing algae will determine the fate of SAV communities in rapidly changing temperate estuaries.
