Abstract

A photographic mosaic of a window from an image taken by HVR-1 of the SPOT satellite over the Cartagena region on the 27/03/86 is analized with a special treatment in order to observe suspended surface sediments (turbidity). The specular reflection permited the observation of different wave patterns; the turbidity den si ty autori sed stablish the influence and circulation of the Canal del Dique waters with in the Cartagena Bay. Also served to detect severe erosion sectors as follows: The coast of island and the western beaches of Manzanillo lsland. Low turbidities in Ensenada de Codego suggests a natural morphological protection for the fresh waters of this inlet and probable local upwelling southeast of Tierra Bomba lsland.
