Use of satellite imagery and autonomous data sensors has the potential to help us better understand and quantify changing pond conditions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in partnership with the Cape Cod Commission and the Association to Preserve Cape Cod, conducted a study to explore the utility of using imagery as an element of an overall regional water quality monitoring strategy. This session will highlight initial results of this study and insights from continuous data monitoring in Siders Pond in Falmouth.
