Application of Satellite-Derived Summer Bloom Indicators for Estonian Coastal Waters of the Baltic Sea Open
The aim of this study was to test and develop the indicators for the remote sensing assessment of cyanobacterial blooms as an input to the estimation of eutrophication and the environmental status (ES) under the Marine Strategy Framework D…

Deriving Nutrient Concentrations from Sentinel-3 OLCI Data in North-Eastern Baltic Sea Open
Nutrients are important elements in marine ecosystems and water quality, and have a major role in the eutrophication of water bodies. Monitoring nutrient loads is especially important for the Baltic Sea, which is especially sensitive to th…

The Diatom/Dinoflagellate Index as an Indicator of Ecosystem Changes in the Baltic Sea 1. Principle and Handling Instruction Open
An ecosystem shift in the Baltic Proper at the end of the 1980s could be identified by a decreasing springtime diatom/dinoflagellate ratio. Therefore the suggested diatom/dinoflagellate index (Dia/Dino index) was developed as a descriptive…
