abstract = "This chapter will show the successful combination of telemetric
monitoring system and spatial data modeling to study water quality
parameters, in special the turbidity. The observations of
turbidity provide quantitative information about water quality.
However, the number of available in situ measurements for water
quality determination is usually limited in time and space. Here,
we present an analysis of the temporal and spatial variability of
the turbidity of an Amazon floodplain lake using two approaches:
(i) wavelet analysis of a turbidity time series measured by an
automatic monitoring system, which should be improved/simplified;
(ii) turbidity samples measured in different locations and then
interpolated using an ordinary Kriging algorithm. The spatial and
temporal variability of turbidity are clearly related to the
Amazon River flood pulses in the floodplain. When the water level
in the floodplain is rising or receding, the exchange between the
Amazon River and the floodplain is the major driving force in
turbidity variability. At high water levels, turbidity variability
is controlled by LakeBathymetry. When the water level is low, wind
action and LakeMorphometry are the main causes of turbidity
variability. The combined use of temporal and spatial data shows a
good potential for better understanding of the turbidity behavior
in a complex aquatic system such as the Amazon floodplain. © 2011
