Abstract:Harmful algae blooms (HABs) have been reported with greater frequency in lakes across New York State (NYS) in recent years. In situ sampling is used to assess water quality, but such observations are time intensive and therefore practically limited in their spatial extent. Previous research has used remote sensing imagery to estimate phytoplankton pigments (typically chlorophyll-a or phycocyanin) as HAB indicators. The primary goal of this study was to validate a remote sensing-based method to estimate cyanoba… Show more
