Earthdata Forum

Hi!

I am not a scientist nor am I in the Earth Sciences, so please try to explain things as simply as possible for me.

I am interested in accessing data from the satellites that shows me in the Yucatan Peninsula (Mexico) or even in different parts of Mexico the current levels of algal blooms.

If possible, I would also like to learn how to see data from other dates so I can make a timelapse of how the algal blooms grow and dissolve over time.

I would like to get both pseudocolor and clorophyll levels.

For your help,

Thank you.
