Monitoring harmful algal blooms in surface water bodies across U.S. using Sentinel-2 images and Machine Learning
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are an increasing threat to surface water quality. Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), a proxy for phytoplankton biomass, and Karenia brevis (K. brevis), the dominant species responsible for red tide events in coastal regions, are two key indicators for monitoring HABs. Traditional monitoring methods are...
