Earth Observation Data from SISCAL

SISCAL in the Dead Sea
|
|
Aims
|
-
Evaluate the use of
SISCAL EO products in understanding the dynamics and overturn of the
surface water in the Dead Sea
-
Calibration of oceanographic models for predicting
the changes that will occur due to
the Red Sea - Dead Sea water conveyance / canal
|
Specific questions
-
What is the spatial distribution of the sea
surface temperature during the year?
-
What is the influence of flooding events
and outflow from rivers on the sea surface temperature and other
bio-geophysical parameters?
-
Do the in situ measurements collected in the sea
platform from the surface represent the Dead Sea as a whole?
|
|
Status
|
Since 2005 SISCAL began the process of calibrating the
algorithms for SST(Sea Surface Temperature) (Fig. 1), SEC, TSM and Chl-a in
the Dead Sea. The ocean observing instruments that we use are:
The process of calibration is done using the in situ data
from the sea platform and other cruises.
