Estimating Chlorophyll-A Concentration using Remote Sensing Techniques

Abstract

Chlorophyll-a is used as an indicator of the mass of phytoplankton, and as a reference for estimating organic influence in the aquatic area. This study discusses the spatio-temporal distribution of chlorophyll-a in the Marmaris Bay. The aim of the study is to be a source of information on how to use remote sensing technology in the marine field. Chl-a level is identified using Sentinel 2A satellite images in the May 2017 and May 2018. The chl-a levels were higher in the coastal areas than the open sea. The results obtained from the satellite images should be compared with the laboratory results and the accuracy should be confirmed
