High-Resolution Satellite Observations of a New Hazard of Golden Tides Caused by Floating Sargassum in Winter in the Yellow Sea
Open accessAbstract
A new marine hazard of golden tides caused by floating brown macroalgae-Sargassum occurred in the Yellow Sea in December 2016. An economic loss of 0.5 billion CNY (about U.S. $73 million) was estimated due to the damaged seaweed aquaculture in the Jiangsu Shoal, China. In this letter, images from the new Chinese satellite of Gaofen (GF) with high-resolution optical cameras are used to retrieve the drifting path of floating Sargassum and its origin. A southward drifting path of floating Sargassum in the western Yellow Sea is identified for the first time, and the initial site of bloom occurrence is near the eastern end of the Shandong Peninsula, China, implying the origin of this hazard of floating Sargassum. The scale of this Sargassum bloom event in the Jiangsu Shoal is also evaluated using a linear-mixing model suitable for high-resolution images. The result shows that the total area of Sargassum-containing pixels in the GF-1 wide-field-of-view images on December 31, 2016 was more than 46 km2, and according to the estimation by the linear-mixing model, the total area of sea surface completely covered by Sargassum was above 8.8 km2. The approach and the results presented in this letter should contribute to the future study and management of golden tides in Chinese coastal waters.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
