Summary

This dataset is a collection of hyperspectral imagery profiles of 13 common algae associated with Harmful Algae Blooms (HAB). Data were retrieved from a hyperspectral microscope at, and with the cooperation of, the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Samples were collected from USGS water quality sampling efforts, and were also purchased from commercial vendors of biological materials. Data are shown in basic hyperspectral imagery form, transformed into the first derivative and corrected with a flat field algorithm to account for variations in locale lighting conditions.

Purpose

Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) are a major, emerging water quality problem. Remote sensing has been used extensively to document the presence and extent of HAB phenomenon. However, emerging remote sensing technology, known as hyperspectral remote sensing, also known as imaging spectroscopy, captures light in numerous contiguous bands and enables additional data characterization that currently requires laboratory analysis. These hyperspectral profiles are designed to contribute to research on remote detection and analysis of HAB phenomenon.
