Abstract

In this chapter, we show capabilities of satellite remote sensing for environmental monitoring of Lake Skadar/Shkodra. A small size of the lake requires usage of high-resolution satellite optical, infrared, and radar data from the ETM+ Landsat-7, OLI and TIRS Landsat-8, MSI Sentinel-2A, Sentinel-1A, Sentinel-1B, and other space platforms with spatial resolution of 1–30 m, which is demonstrated in the chapter. Most of high-resolution satellite data are very expensive; this is why we focused on those data, which are available free of charge. Examples of processed satellite imagery of Lake Skadar/Shkodra in true color, sea surface temperature, water turbidity, chlorophyll-a concentration, and lake surface roughness are presented. Establishing of permanent integrated satellite monitoring of the lake is a key task in order to better understand the Lake Skadar/Shkodra environment and ecosystem, as well as transboundary processes characteristic for the lake.
