Objectives

Black Sea Color Project aims at the implementation of a program to support remote sensing applications for operational environmental monitoring and climate studies in the Black Sea. This objective will be achieved through the assessment of current Sentinel-3 ocean color data products and additionally the implementation of new bio-optical algorithms for the quantification of the concentration of seawater optically significant constituents. The previous activity will benefit from the collection, analysis and application of comprehensive reference bio-optical measurements of optical properties (inherent and apparent) and concentration of seawater optically significant constituents from a major oceanographic campaign and automated AERONET- OC system installed on earthgas exploration platform – GALATA.
