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.
DOI: 10.24400/527896/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.
Condition of access : these products are delivered for any purposes as stated in the licence agreement
Description: daily gridded products provided in near real time since 28 March 2022 produced in the frame of a jointed initiative CLS-Hygeos with the support of the CNES. Each map represents the sargassum presence index averaged over one day
