Description
English: This visualization shows the monthly mean Sargassum observed in the Atlantic Ocean by the MODIS instruments on NASA's TERRA and AQUA satellites from January 2018 through December 2023. Each square box of color represents an area 0.5 x 0.5 degrees, roughly 3025 square kilometers in size. The color represents the mean amount of Sargassum observed in that box during the month of July. Blue shades indicate that this area had on average less than 3 square kilomenters of Sargassum, while red indicates that the region had an average of 9 square kilometers or more.
