Coming soon : Sargassum observations with optical sensors
Coming soon in the Datastore, observations of Sargassum on tropical zones
This map shows over the Atlantic a large cluster of floating vegetation assumed to be Sargassum, as captured by MODIS/Aqua on December 06th, 2017. Pixel resolution is 250 m. Deep blue is for clear sky ocean, white is for clouds, and the color scale from light blue to red is for the Normalized Floating Vegetation Index (NFAI). The highest values of NFAI correspond to pixels completely filled-in by vegetation, and/or emerged and healthy vegetation. On the right is shown a plot of the Rayleigh corrected reflectance spectrum associated to the pixel of the map indicated by the red arrow. This spectrum is characterized by a strong increase in the near infra-red, which is the signature of vegetation.
Restricted data access, the dissemination of this data outside CLS Group necessitate authorization. Please contact the Service Desk for more details.
