Abstract

Temporal Sea Surface Temperature (SST) analyses by satellite images are quite vital in terms of understanding the sea water quality. Specific water quality criteria include dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, temperature, depth, pH, salinity, and turbidity, and these criteria are used to determine water quality in seas. In the current study, three criteria which are chlorophyll, temperature (SST) and turbidity were examined through their correlation with SST derived from Landsat sensors. This let to know about the examined criteria at minimum and maximum temperature dates, the relation with respect to temperature change rates, and to understand the events that occur in certain dates. The regular or irregular increases of the detected SST are evidence of sea water quality or pollution resulted from the criteria in the study area. Therefore, first turbid water which contains a high amount of suspended sediment was studied. After the turbidity index was completed, the Chlorophyll study was carried out to detect the algae like substances. The aims of the study are to evaluate the temporal change of water quality in coastal region of Izmir province, using spectral indices, and to contribute to the development of more sensitive qualitative index algorithms in the future. At the end of the study, high correlation coefficients revealed the relationship between SST and indexes.
