The exhibition will be a celebration of light and color, illustrating the artistic develop- ment of the great French painter from Impressionism to his famous late work. It will feature his Mediterranean landscapes, wild Atlantic coastal scenes, different stretches of the Seine river, meadows with wild flow- ers, haystacks, water lilies, cathedrals, and bridges shrouded in fog. In his paintings, Monet experimented with changing light and color effects in the course of a day and in different seasons. He succeeded in evoking magical moods through reflections and shadows. Claude Monet was a great pioneer who found the key to the secret garden of modern painting and opened everyone’s eyes to a new way of seeing the world. The first Monet exhibition in Switzerland in over 10 years will bring together 50 masterpieces from private collections and renowned museums, such as the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Pola Museum in Japan, the Metro- politan Museum in New York, and the Art Institute in Chicago. www.fondationbeyeler.ch Basler Jugendbücherschiff (Youth Book Ship) The Brutalist Playground Until February 7 Until April 16 This yearly event is a very special book fair that takes place on the MS Brutalist architecture is a controversial movement that originated in Christoph Merian boat that is docked at Schifflände.

Each year, made of raw materials with an uncompromisingly rugged aesthetic. thousands of children, adolescents, their parents, school classes, and Throughout the country, preeminent architects erected large residen- teachers—essentially anyone interested in children’s literature—visit the ship to leaf through the books on hand and discover new reading material. The motto this year is “Gesucht wird…” (Wanted…), and will focus on thrillers—stories of crime and investigation, in which the reader grows fond of the protagonist, empathetically going along through all of the dangers. At several stations, visitors can listen to scary stories told by the 6th graders of the Sevogel primary school, enriched with eerie background noises. There will also be many books devoted to the subject of flight and migration, with touching stories told from different perspectives—that of fugitives as well as that of immi- grants. The upper deck will feature books for adolescents, while the lower deck is devoted to the younger readers, with cozy reading cor- ners and numerous events that promote reading, including a story- telling night during which the ship travels up and down the Rhein.

KG, Sonderflughafen Oberpfaffenhofen, D-82205 Gilching, Germany - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Inland water, Case II water, lakes, MERIS, water constituents ABSTRACT: The physically based Modular Inversion & Processing System (MIP) is used in an automized processing chain for inland water constituent retrieval from MERIS level 1B data. Preprocessing routines are used to automatically convert the ESA generic data products into MIP input data format. Water/land masking, atmospheric correction and water constituent retrieval are accomplished by simple batch executables from MIP. The accuracy of the constituent retrieval mainly depends on the spectral fit between the image input data and the radiative transfer model results extracted from a database. Therefore, thresholds and initial values for model fitting have to account for all occurring lake specific temporal variations and need careful adjustment. 1. INTRODUCTION Heege, 2000), using the Modular Inversion & Processing System (MIP) (Heege and Fischer, 2004). Monitoring of water quality in lakes is required as an integral part of water resource management, in order to guarantee the In this work, a processing chain to automatically derive water sustainable use of water and to track the effects of constituents from MERIS level 1B data for Swiss lakes is built anthropogenic influences. Simultaneously, adequate monitoring around MIP.
