Mapping the Goczałkowice reservoir, and a search for golden algae
From 16 to 19 June the LIFL-11 mapped chlorophyll-a and CDOM across the whole Goczałkowice reservoir with the University of Warsaw and the University of Silesia, then moved to a still lake nearby to look for golden algae
The full instrument suite in the eastern Channel
Over three days at the end of May three LIF lidars and the mHR-2 radiometer ran together off Boulogne-sur-Mer with LOG, from the coast out into the eastern English Channel
A river plume and clear sea in one transect
On 7 May the LIFL-11 ran the coast from Villefranche-sur-Mer to the mouth of the Var, across water that went from 0.46 m of Secchi depth inside the plume to 16 m offshore
The first micro-observatories are on the water
Two mFL-12 lidars and two mHR-2 radiometers went up at Parentis Lake and Ambès, the first OQOMETHI field deployments, measuring twice an hour around the clock
Profiling mode goes to sea
Five instruments went into the Bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer on 19 March, and the LIFL-11 ran its profiling mode in real conditions for the first time
What continuous pollution monitoring in a port would take
At the second round of Réinventer les Ports d'Antibes we set out the instrument layer for watching port water around the clock, from a fixed buoy to a lidar reading the surface from a moving boat
First marine field tests: the full system at Venice
The LIFL-11, mFL-12, and mHR-2 went to sea together for the first time in October, in the Venice lagoon, as part of ESA's PHY2FLEX campaign
