Eutrophication of the northern Adriatic Sea was investigated using data on dissolved oxygen (DO) from 1911 to 1982. Beginning in the period 1955-1965, DO concentrations increased in the surface layer and decreased close to the bottom in all seasons except winter. These changes are attributed to an increase of the anthropogenic nutrient inflow. The occurrence of hypoxia near the bottom and its disappearance were investigated using the vertical distribution of DO on the transect from the Po delta to Rovinj during 1973. Horizontal distributions of DO close to the surface and near the bottom show prominent gradients from the Po delta towards the middle of the northern Adriatic Sea. Application of a simple box model indicates that phytoplankton blooms which... |

In order to be able to count the cases of coastal eutrophication and to propose methods to monitor as well as to reduce these phenomena, first of all it is necessary to precisely define the word eutrophication itself. Instead of the strict etymological definition, that is to say a progression of the enrichment of a medium, we will rather retain the concept of a state enriched at a point such as it causes harmful effects on the ecosystem, and nuisances to man's activities. Based on the average chemical equations of the organic matter synthesis/degradation in the sea, this operational definition thus puts forwards the harmful consequences of enrichment, i.e. the production of an excessive algal biomass, sometimes unbalanced from the point of view of... |

Phytoplankton is an important indicator of water quality assessment. To understand phytoplankton dynamics, many fixed buoys and ferry boxes were implemented, resulting in the generation of substantial data signals. Collected data are used as inputs of an effective monitoring system. The system, based on unsupervised hidden Markov model (HMM), is designed not only to detect phytoplancton blooms but also to understand their dynamics. HMM parameters are usually estimated by an iterative expectation-maximization (EM) approach. We propose to estimate HMM parameters by using spectral clustering algorithm. The monitoring system is assessed based on database signals from MAREL-Carnot station, Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. Experimental results show that the proposed... |
