Abstract
The results of the first combined limnological experiment conducted in Lake Onega in the summer of 1989 are presented. The concurrent spaceb orne (Cosmos-1870 SAR), airborne (visual observations and IR radiometr y), and shipborne (visual observations, thermal and optical water char acteristics) surveys made it possible to establish the presence of vas t phytoplankton regions in the lake. It is shown that the activity of phytoplankton may change water surface conditions, thus causing strong radar signal contrasts.
