CHANGED PATTERNS OF REMOTELY SENSED CHLOROPHYLL A IN THE ADRIATIC-INFLUENCE OF METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

The patterns of spatial distribution of pigment concentrations in the Adriatic Sea were studied using remotely sensed data from the CZCS (1978-1986), SeaWiFS data from 1997-2000 and 2003, Color POLDER (CNES) data for 1997, and some other data. In the earlier investigations, open waters of the Middle...
