Investigation of water quality in the shallow coastal waters of the Persian Gulf.

Advanced satellite technology and algorithms are making substantial progress in meeting the need for improved environmental monitoring of coastal waterways. Integrating high-resolution satellites with in-situ radiometric equipment is essential for effectively monitoring algal blooms and managing coastal resources. Our work has built a model to examine geographical and temporal fluctuations in chlorophyll-a concentration in Bushehr Bay, Persian Gulf, Iran, using radiometric data and high-resolution remote sensing.
