Products Sargassum Floating Algae Index with Sentinel-2A&B and Landsat 8&9 satellites.
Composite maps of sargassum detection index NFAI (Normalized Floating Algae Index).
Types of dataset: multimission dataset using MSI instruments onboard Sentinel-2A&B satellites and OLI instruments onboard Landsat-8&9.
DOI: 10.24400/527896/a01-2024.001 - more metadata
Contents: sargassum detection index (NFAI) maps computed at 20m on specific HR geographical areas from images of MSI Sentinel-2A & 2B resolution every 2-3 days, and OLI Landsat-8 & 9 every 8 days at most, and merged in 300m resolution maps after each satellite pass covering the area of interest.
Use: refine sargassum detection near coast thanks to high resolution sensors.
