Detection of <i>Sargassum</i> from Sentinel Satellite Sensors Using Deep Learning Approach by Marine Laval, Abdelbadie Belmouhcine, Luc Courtrai, Jacques Descloitres, Adán Salazar-Garibay, Léa Schamberger, Audrey Minghelli, Thierry Thibaut, René Dorville, Camille Mazoyer, Pascal Zongo, Cristèle Chevalier

“…Since 2011, the proliferation of brown macro-algae of the genus <i>Sargassum</i> has considerably increased in the North Tropical Atlantic Sea, all the way from the Gulf of Guinea to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. The large amount of <i>Sargassum</i> aggregations in that area cause major beaching events, which have a significant impact on the local economy and the environment and are starting to present a real threat to public health. …”

CAR36, a regional high-resolution ocean forecasting system for improving drift and beaching of <i>Sargassum</i> in the Caribbean archipelago by S. Cailleau, L. Bessières, L. Chiendje, F. Dubost, G. Reffray, J.-M. Lellouche, S. van Gennip, C. Régnier, M. Drevillon, M. Tressol, M. Clavier, J. Temple-Boyer, L. Berline

“…The transfer of kinetic energy from the eddy dissipating westward into the Caribbean Sea was diagnosed as more pronounced for CAR36, corresponding to filamentary structures crossing the Caribbean archipelago and resulting in part from the friction of the NBC eddy along the islands to the east. …”
