VIEW IMAGE	Charts indicating suspended sediment concentration (see our OceanColour web site for an archive of satellite images) produced on the basis of satellite imagery clearly show areas of high turbidity along the Belgian coast and at the mouth of the Thames. Using a colour scale, the chart shows the calculated value of the concentration (from blue for low concentrations to red for high values). The SeaWiFS pictures have a ground resolution of approximately 1.1km and cover large areas. This chart is limited to part of the North Sea.
VIEW IMAGE	This is a chart showing suspended sediment concentrations produced on the basis of a SPOT picture. These pictures typically cover small areas, but in return have a ground resolution of 10 to 20 metres. It is therefore possible to obtain fairly precise local information.
VIEW IMAGE	Illustration of the precision of certain satellite pictures, in this case part of a SPOT picture. The port of Zeebrugge, the different uses to which the ground is put, variations in the surface of the sea and ships can be clearly distinguished.
