Sargassum Floating Algae Index Detection - MODIS Aqua

Composite maps of sargassum detection index NFAI (Normalized Floating Algae Index).

Daily gridded products provided in delayed time from December 2020 to a month before current date, made available as part of SeSaM SCO project (https://www.spaceclimateobservatory.org/sesam) . Each map represents the sargassum presence (through normalized floatting alguae index) at 0.0025° (high) or 0.01° (low) resolutions.
