Abstract

Three-dimensional models require a large amount of data for characterising the space and time evolution of the system and for testing the adequacy of the model. Remote sensing can greatly improve the results of these models because makes available space-time series of data hardly obtainable in other ways. Indeed, traditional kind of measurement, while more accurate, cannot provide data sampled as often, and on as a fine mesh, as the ones obtainable by remote sensing technique. Experimental observations derived from remote sensing images, has been coupled with a 3D-water-quality model, to analyse the effects of eutrophication in the lagoon of Venice, namely to define the modality of the spatial expansion of macroalgae community.
