Zusammenfassung |
This paper aims to review the availability and application of sensors for
observing marine ecosystem status. It gives a broad overview of important
ecosystem variables to be investigated, such as biogeochemical cycles,
primary and secondary production, species distribution, animal movements,
habitats and pollutants. Some relevant legislative drivers are listed, as
they provide one context in which ecosystem studies are undertaken. In
addition to literature cited within the text the paper contains some useful
web links to assist the reader in making an informed instrument choice, as
the authors feel that the topic is so broad, it is impossible to discuss all
relevant systems or to provide appropriate detail for those discussed. It is
therefore an introduction to how and why ecosystem status is currently
observed, what variables are quantified, from what platforms, using remote
sensing or in-situ measurements, and gives examples of useful sensor based
tools. Starting with those presently available, to those under development
and also highlighting sensors not yet realised but desirable for future
studies. |
