The identification and characterization of the spatial and temporal changes that occur in the Atlantic Area, to better understand the dynamics of the bio-optical properties of the coastal waters and physical forcing involved.
The accuracy of the remote sensing algorithms depend on the consistent knowledge of the bio-optical properties of the system in study. Thus, the purpose is to provide a richer diagnosis and clearer interpretation of the temporal variability of the bio-optical parameters and their potential causes, taking into account the physical and climatic variables.
