Dear WW Community,
I would appreciate some advice regarding the color of lakes rivers and estuaries. What can be interpreted as shallow waters, sediment or algal bloom or other?
In particular, I am referring to the bright yellow and green plumes we see extending out into the ocean in the estuaries of major rivers we see on NLT Landsat 7 imagery.
For example, the Fraser (BC and Washington), the Yangtze (China), etc...
I presume that the bright green color of Lake Winnipeg is an algal bloom.
Correct?
NB: The ocean plankton blooms in the Rapid Fire Modis are quite spectacular. Are there other references of interest?
Thank you.
Paul.
