Abstract:Monitoring turbidity is essential for sustainable coastal management because an increase in turbidity leading to diminishing water clarity has a detrimental ecological impact. Turbidity in coastal waters is strongly dependent on the concentration and physical properties of particles in the water column. In the Belgian part of the North Sea, turbidity and suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentrations have been monitored for decades by satellite remote sensing, but this technique only focuses on the surface … Show more
