EstuarySAT Database Development of Harmonized Remote Sensing and Water Quality Data for Tidal and Estuarine Systems.

ABSTRACT: Researchers and environmental managers need big datasets spanning long time periods to accurately assess current and historical water quality conditions in fresh and estuarine waters. Using remote sensing data, we can survey many water bodies simultaneously and evaluate water quality conditions with greater frequency. The combination of existing and historical water quality data with remote sensing imagery into a unified database allows researchers to improve remote sensing algorithms and improves understanding of mechanisms causing blooms. We report on the development of a water quality database "EstuarySAT" which combines data from the Sentinel-2 multi-spectral instrument (MSI) remote sensing platform and water quality data throughout the coastal USA. EstuarySAT builds upon an existing d
