New Sargassum datasets

Category: Website updates

Two datasets have been added to the AVISO Catalogue: "Sargassum floating algae index with AQUA satellite" and "Sargassum floating algae index with Sentinel-3A&B and AQUA satellites"

Average detections of MODIS and OLCI of the last 7 days for May 4th 2024. Sargassum

The “sargassum Floating Algae Product with AQUA satellite” is similar to the "sargassum Floating Algae Product with Sentinel-3A&B satellites" with daily observation of sargassum at medium resolution (300m) in the Tropical Atlantic. Moreover, the use of multiple satellites allows better coverage of the area of interest each day by decreasing areas masked by clouds where sargassum cannot be detected. Sargassum detections are very sensitive cloud cover, especially since sargassum can be found in tropical regions. The daily observations during a very cloudy event are not necessarily representative of the real sargassum presence. The “Sargassum Floating Algae product with Sentinel-3A&B and AQUA satellites” which is a 7-day average is providing an overview of sargassum detections for the last 7 days which is useful to get a general idea of the current sargassum situation.
