Space-time variability of the Amazon River plume based on satellite ocean color

Satellite ocean color images were used to determine the space-time variability of the Amazon River plume from 2000–2004. The relationship between sea-surface salinity (SSS) and the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) absorption coefficient for dissolved and detrital material ( a dg) ( r...

Zusammenfassung:Satellite ocean color images were used to determine the space-time variability of the Amazon River plume from 2000–2004. The relationship between sea-surface salinity (SSS) and the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) absorption coefficient for dissolved and detrital material ( a dg) ( r 2=0.76, n=30, rmse=0.4) was used to identify the Amazon River plume low-salinity waters (
