Abstract

In this paper, the occurrence and distribution of Ulva prolifera bloom in the Yellow Sea in summer of 2008 are investigated using the medium-resolution data from operational MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instruments onboard Terra and Aqua satellites with an FAI(Floating Algae Index) method. The sea surface wind fields from NASA’s QuikSCAT (Quick Scatterometer) are also analyzed to study their impact on the movement of the floating macroalgae.
