Floating sargassum algae detection with GOES-16 satellite.

Maps of sargassum detection index FAI anomaly (Anomaly of Floating Algae Index) produced in real time from the geostationary satellite GOES-16 (ABI sensor).

Types of dataset: mono-mission dataset using ABI sensor onboard GOES-16 satellite.

DOI10.24400/527896/a01-2022.008  -  more metadata

Contents: maps of sargassum detection index (FAI anomaly): instantaneous maps of ABI-GOES16 every 10 minutes and daily mean maps at 1-km resolution.

Use: improve the sargassum detection in the Caribbean region by increasing the satellite coverage of sun-synchronous sensors usually used for sargassum detection.
