Estudio de las fluctuaciones del nivel del agua en la laguna de Gallocanta (Aragón, España) mediante imágenes satelitales de Sentinel-2

Abstract

This study has been monitored for five years by Sentinel-2 satellite images, at different seasons of the year, of the fluctuations in the water level of the Gallocanta Lake (between the provinces of Teruel and Zaragoza, Spain) considered a hypersaline and endorheic wetland, which has characteristics that make it unique in the geographical area in which it is located, as well as for the operation of the system. Rainfall in the area has a wide variation giving the maximums in the moths of May and June and the minimums in January and February, with considerable fluctuations in the water level from the almost total drying of the lagoon to the filling with a depth of approximately 3 meters.
