Abstract
This dataset includes Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Airborne Visible-InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS), Landsat and Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO) images used in the paper: Hu, C., Feng, L., Hardy, R. F., & Hochberg, E. J. (2015). Spectral and spatial requirements of remote measurements of pelagic Sargassum macroalgae. Remote Sensing of Environment, 167, 229–246. doi:10.1016/j.rse.2015.05.022, together with the delineated sargassum features. The in situ spectral measurements used as endmembers to simulate the results are also included.
Purpose
To determine the optimal band centers and bandwidths required for sargassum detection, and to estimate the spatial detection limit once these spectral requirements are met.
