| Abstract | This paper describes a technique to infer the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in coastal waters using daily MODIS imagery. The method is new and novel in that it utilizes the high temporal resolution and broad coverage of MODIS imagery. In this study, the authors apply the technique to Greenland, having defined 2,800 regions of interest in 230 fjords. Data for each region of interest are aggregated into 100 km x 100 km grid cells to produce time series of higher temporal resolution. To compute SSC values, the authors use an empirical function derived from comparison of observed SSC and MODIS reflectance. |
