碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 海洋環境資訊系 / 102 / The purpose of this study is to understand variations and characteristics of the seawater transparency in the Taiwan Strait and coastal waters around Taiwan by the satellite remotely-sensed data. The data are derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Aqua satellite. The possible factors that may affect the variations are analyzed. The results show that the seawater transparency near the coastal waters is lower than that in the offshore waters. The lowest seawater transparency is in China coast, followed by the coastal waters of western Taiwan, and then the coastal waters of eastern Taiwan. Seasonal variations of water transparency are also observed. The seawater transparency in most regions is higher in summer and lower in winter. In addition, ocean currents and monsoons may affect the spatial distribution of the seawater transparency. The seawater transparency caused by tides is more significant impact on the coastal area.
