| Zusammenfassung |
Sea surface temperature (SST) and turbidity (T) derived from Landsat 8 (L8) imagery were used to characterize river plumes in the northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) during a significant flood
event in November 2014. Circulation patterns and sea surface salinity (SSS) from an operational coupled
ocean-wave model supported the interpretation of the plumes' interaction with
the receiving waters and among them.
There was a good agreement of the SSS, T, and SST fields at the
sub-mesoscale and mesoscale delineation of the major river plumes. L8 30 m
resolution also enabled the description of smaller plume structures. The
different plumes' reflectance spectra were related to the lithological
fingerprint of the sediments in the river catchments.
Sharp fronts in T and SST delimited each single river plume. The isotherms
and turbidity isolines' coupling varied among the plumes due to differences
in particle loads and surface temperatures in the discharged waters. The
surface expressions of all the river plumes occurring in NAS were classified
based on the occurrence of the plume dynamical regions in the L8 30 m
resolution imagery. |
