Basic descriptions
This dataset provides maximum bloom extent (MBE, in km2) and median bloom occurrence (BO, in %) for 21,878 freshwater lakes worldwide in the entire period (1980s-2010s) and three sub-periods (1980–1990s, 2000s and 2010s), which was generated using Landsat satellite observation between 1982 to 2019.
