Aph(433)-processed imagery from merged Aqua MODIS and Sentinel-3 data. This image of the Gulf of Maine was taken on September 12, 2016 during one of the most severe harmful algal bloom events. Using in-situ data, it was determined that Pseudo-nitzschia was a dominant genus of algae present at the time of the bloom. Shades of bright green indicate peak absorption by phytoplankton and aph(433) is corrected for false positive absorption indications.

Color composite image portraying Wupatki Basin in northwestern Arizona, derived from 2021 LANDSAT 8 OLI/TIRS imagery. This image depicts Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands (PJW), among other vegetation, between the river and mountains in a light green color. Thermal Infrared (TIR) occupies the red band, while the green and blue bands represent the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) and the Modified Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI), respectively. The reduced correlation between bands in this comp
