Context
• In 2000, the European Parliament set out the European Water Framework Directive for managing and protecting water bodies in Europe.
• Classification of water bodies into ecological status
• For lakes, the assessment of this status is based on: – Biological indicators
– Physical-chemical indicators
– Hydro-morphological indicators
• Sampling method – Integrated samples in the euphotic zone over the deepest point of the lake
– At least 4 observations per year over the growing season
• Spatial heterogeneities in large lakes
• Representativeness of those data versus the whole lake needs to be verified (Kiefer et al. , 2015)
Introduction Material and methods Results Conclusion

Objective and method
• Does spatial heterogeneities in large lakes bias our estimation of their ecological status ?
• Chlorophyll-a
• To combine
– Data analysis of in-situ and remote satellite data
– 3D modeling

Border France-Switzerland
Lake Geneva Altitude = 372 m Surface area = 580 km2
Mean depth = 153 m Max depth = 309 m Rhône inflow = 182 m3/s Rhône outflow = 250 m3/s Residence time = 11 years Volume = 89 km3
4 Lake Geneva provides numerous ecosystem services.
Data
• In-situ lake monitoring
– 1 station: SHL2 (deepest point, 309 m)
– 1 or 2 samples per month since 1963
– CTD and dissolved oxygen vertical profiles (1 m resolution)
– Physical-chemical parameters at 20 depths between surface and bottom
– Chlorophyll-a concentration at 10 depths between surface and 30 m depth
– Phytoplankton abundance and composition (0-18 m depth-integrated)
– Zooplankton abundance and composition (0-50 m depth-integrated)
• Satellite: MERIS sensor (https://earth.esa.int/)
– Processing done with FUB WeW algorithm (Schroeder et al., 2007)
– 624 images of surface chlorophyll-a concentration from 2002 to 2012 (300 m resolution)

Conclusions and perspectives
• The model reproduced well the water temperature.
• The model succeeded in catching several observed spatial heterogeneities of Chlorophyll-a by the satellite.
• To improve model performances (until the end of 2015)
– Algal development onset in spring is very sensitive to the hydrodynamics
• To use the model (2016)
– To assess the representativeness of one lake monitoring station in large lakes
– To better understand the reoligotrophication process in Lake Geneva: long-term phytoplankton dynamics with phosphorus concentration decreasing
– To analyse impacts of extreme climate events (storms, heat waves)
– Temporal variability of spatial heterogeneities
