Using the Optical and Radar Satellite Images for the Analysis of Ecological Conditions in the Marine Environment

Z. V. Andreeva

Considered are the possibilities for detecting the zones of ecological problems of marine environment using the ocean color sensors data and the radar images. Presented are the peculiarities of satellite data interpretation and the experimental results indicating the spatial and temporal distribution of biogenic slicks and chlorophyll a concentration as the indicators of ecological conditions in the marine environment. Proposed is the multiparameter correlation graph displaying the relationship between the ecological factors significant for studying the anthropogenic eutrophication.
