Brief description
This dataset contains the results from algal bloom surveys in the Swan River, Perth, Western Australia. Aeroplane flights were used to map the extent of the blooms and at the same time, sea truthing of the images were made using an analysis for various pigments and obtaining phytoplankton samples. Four flight periods were made between October 1994 and December 1995, with up to 4 flights a day. The main species studied was the dinoflagellate Gymnodinium.Lineage
Progress Code: completed
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: Source: original field data. Field measurements were made with DSIR & Irricrop radiometers, two types of airborne systems CASI and DMSV, biological, physical and chemical sampling also conducted. Species and density of cells measured in the laboratory. Processing: Canonical Variate analysis for river and wetland sites, graphs created, images rectified, data compared and analysed. Results: see pp. 15-25
