Funder identifier: SR/00/381 (Other contract id) Principal funding codes: 4252 - STEREO II (Support to the Exploitation and Research in Earth Observation data) Acronym: TIMBERS Period: April 2019 till December 2021 Status: Completed
The project goal is to produce 3D turbidity profiles of seawater combining optical remote sensing for quantifying the turbidity in the top layer with multi-beam echo-sounding (MBES) for determining suspended matter profiles in the water column down from the position of the echo-sounder. We will develop a method to derive vertical profiles of turbidity from measured MBES backscatter values and merge these with satellite observation derived data.
