An Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) in Deriving Suspended Sediment Concentrations in the Ocean From MTG/FCI Satellite Sensor

Résumé

The capacity to monitor suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs) in the ocean, from surface to bottom, using data acquired by the future Meteosat Third-Generation (MTG)/flexible combined imager (FCI) satellite sensor has been quantified by observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs). The ``true'' ocean state for these experiments is based on a 15-month numerical simulation of hydrodynamic and sediment transport, configured to represent the highly dynamical waters of the English Channel under the influences of tides and waves. Simulated MTG/FCI hourly averaged acquisitions at a given location near the Isle of Wight have been processed via hidden Markov model combined with a statistical classification--based on self-organizing maps--of predicted vertical SSC profiles. The resulting experiments demonstrated that MTG/FCI images, despite their high temporal resolution, and because of many gaps due to nights and clouds over the English Channel, still require spatial interpolations to enhance the amount of information available at a given location. For an accurate determination of particle concentrations, time series of the main forcing (wind, tides, and waves) need to be included in the process: 1) as a crucial parameter correlated with the dynamics of large particles (sands) and 2) as an equally important parameter as satellite data themselves in the correlation with the dynamics of fine particles (silts).
