Assimilation of machine‐learning‐predicted nitrate to improve the quality of phytoplankton forecasting in the shelf‐sea environment

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates that assimilating machine‐learning‐derived surface nitrate can improve five‐day phytoplankton forecast substantially within the Met Office operational system for the Northwest European Shelf. We explain the reasons behind this improvement and propose that an online system where machine learning and data assimilation are cycled

SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION OF ALGAL BLOOMS ON THE OCEAN SURFACE USING SENTINEL 3 CHL_NN BAND IMAGERY

open access: yesApplied Computer Science
Satellite imagery plays an important role in detecting algal blooms because of its ability to cover larger geographical regions. Excess growth of Sea surface algae, characterized by the presence of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), is considered to be harmful.

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

Cyanopeptide Mixtures Induce Variable Synergistic and Antagonistic Effects Across Diverse Human Cell Lines

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) threaten human, animal, and ecosystem health and safety through production of toxic secondary metabolites. Microcystis, a cosmopolitan bloom‐forming cyanobacterial genus, is well‐known for producing hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs), but it can produce many other bioactive cyanopeptides, such as ...
