Satellite-derived cyanobacteria frequency and magnitude in headwaters & near-dam reservoir surface waters of the Southern US

Amber R. Ignatius et al.

Summary: Reservoirs are dominant features of the hydrologic landscape, but their unique morphology can lead to excessive algae growth and harmful cyanobacteria blooms. Understanding the spatial dynamics of cyanobacteria blooms is crucial for reservoir monitoring and mitigating public exposure to cyanotoxins. Advanced spatial analysis using satellite data allows for the assessment of bloom frequency and differences between headwater and near-dam surface waters.

Satellites for long-term monitoring of inland US lakes: The MERIS time series and application for chlorophyll-a

Bridget N. Seegers et al.

Summary: This study highlights the importance of lakes and other surface fresh waterbodies for humans, aquatic life, and ecosystem health, and examines the use of satellite remote sensing data for monitoring inland water quality. The researchers developed a new chlorophyll algorithm using satellite remote sensing data, and evaluated its ability to assess lake trophic state across the CONUS.

Satellite remote sensing to assess cyanobacterial bloom frequency across the United States at multiple spatial scales

Megan M. Coffer et al.

Summary: Satellite imagery was utilized to assess the annual frequency of surface cyanobacterial blooms in large lakes across the continental United States, revealing variations in bloom frequencies among different states and lakes. The results can help identify areas within lakes more prone to cyanobacterial blooms, as well as prioritize sampling resources and mitigation efforts.

Intercalibration of MERIS, MODIS, and OLCI Satellite Imagers for Construction of Past, Present, and Future Cyanobacterial Biomass Time Series

Timothy T. Wynne et al.

Summary: Satellite imagery has been utilized for over twelve years to monitor and assess Harmful Algal Blooms, specifically cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Erie in the USA and Canada, with a key algorithm called the cyanobacterial index (CI) to measure chlorophyll levels. The monitoring system began with the European Space Agency's (ESA) MERIS sensor and transitioned to NASA's MODIS sensor after 2012, with the introduction of the OLCI sensor in 2016 as a replacement for MERIS. This integrated technique allows for intercalibration of the CI algorithm from MODIS to MERIS and OLCI, providing a continuous record of cyanobacterial bloom activity.

Integration of In Situ and Remote Sensing Measurements for the Management of Harmful Cyanobacteria Blooms. A Lesson from a Strategic Multiple-Uses Reservoir (Lake Occhito, South Italy)

Diego Copetti et al.

Summary: The integration of laboratory, in situ, and remote sensing data improves the frequency and spatial resolution of data collection for harmful cyanobacteria blooms in reservoirs. The study showed a decrease in microcystin concentrations with distance from the lake, with potential implications for agricultural cultivation. Advances in satellite imagery resolution allow for monitoring of large irrigation systems.
