Introduction
Pensacola and Escambia bay. 30 x 30 m pixels. Use the brightest band. Much
coarser scale than what Larry Harding is using in ACE INC.
Available every 6 days, and is very cheap to obtain. But spectral resolution is low.

Example from one of the sampling sites. On the top curve, sunlight has washed
everything out to make it very flat. But near infrared is better.

And atmospheric correction is needed. This is quite tedious. Converts all digital
numbers into reflectance.

Select two spectral bands. Often for chlorophylla, one band corresponds to high absorption and
one band corresponds to low absorption

To precisely measure chl a, you need to measure the 680 wavelength, but LandSat
averages it in a wide band.

Chl map created using the band ratio of band 3 to band 1. Model predicted values a
little lower than the ground truthing showed from GED samplings, but it did indicate
areas where hypoxia developed.
