detecting sargassum Algee from space

Nasa
Detecting Sargassum algae from space is possible using satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques. Sargassum has a distinct color and can be identified based on its unique spectral characteristics in the visible and near-infrared spectrum. Researchers and agencies have developed algorithms and methods to analyze satellite data to detect and monitor Sargassum blooms in the ocean. These techniques involve the use of multispectral and hyperspectral sensors to distinguish Sargassum from other marine features. Continuous monitoring from space can help predict and manage Sargassum influxes, which can impact coastal regions.
