  1. Implementation of new technologies to monitor phytoplankton blooms in the South of Chile IS EARLY WARNING OF BLOOMS POSSIBLE IN THE REGION? C.Rodriguez; A. Alvial; C. Haag

  2. The problem for the fish farming in Chile Two techniques to improve its monitoring Harmful algae blooms The responsible organisms Some phytoplankton species. Austral summer 2002: Alexandrium catenella Last april 2003: Gymnodinium spp. Gymnodinium spp MERIS Algal Pigment 1July 2003 Fluoroprobe from the ocean ENVISAT MERIS and AATSR data from the space

  3. Preliminary results: Towards an operative program SST ENVISAT AATSR 31-03-2003 • Strong oceanography dynamics • High influence of the open ocean processes • First general description of the SST and phytoplankton biomass observed at mesoscale • More than 60 vertical profiles of chlorophyll and temperature have been analyzed • Main phytoplankton group: diatoms and dinoflagelates. Future new fingerprints channels • High correlation between in situ and remotely sensed SST and Chlorophyll data • The usefulness of the technology has been demonstrated, even during the winter period
