- Possible effects of global climate change on the ecosystem of Lake Tanganyika
- Any change in the air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, and incoming solar radiation induced by increasing greenhouse gasses and climate change will directly influence lakes and other water bodies. The effects of a slight increase in lake water temperature on the Lake Tanganyika ecosystem might be mitigated by increased windiness, if the latter was sufficient to induce greater mixing.
- Optimized extraction of daily bio-optical time series derived from MODIS/Aqua imagery for Lake Tanganyika, Africa
- Standard MODIS Aqua Ocean Color products were found to not provide a suitable calibration for high altitude lakes such as the Lake Tanganyika . Our results show that for the geographical, atmospheric and optical conditions of Lake Tanganyika : (i) a coastal aerosol model set with high relative humidity (90%) provides a suitable atmospheric correction;
