NOAA NESDIS tells us about Sargassum Monitoring From Space
How can satellite support Sargassum detection ?
Researchers use low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to tackle challenges in Sargassum detection. LEO satellites, like JPSS VIIRS and European Copernicus Sentinel-2, provide extensive coverage essential for monitoring Sargassum. VIIRS tracks large Sargassum mats globally, while Sentinel-2 captures detailed nearshore blooms, aiding in predicting and responding to Sargassum inundation events.
