A comparison was made between multi-year, multi-season cruise information from the surface waters of the Scotian shelf and satellite imagery from the Coastal Zone Colour Scanner (CZCS). The colour imagery was able to identify several physical processes on the shelf (such as outflows and upwelling) to approximately the same degree as previously reported with thermal imagery. Because processing CZCS data requires the use of atmospheric and marine models defined by a range of input parameters, the various processing steps and assumptions were evaluated for potential impact on any marine interpretation of the imagery. The shelf waters were not a pure oceanic water mass throughout the year and turbidity levels were found to be the most significant interfering... |
