SPOT-5 false color images overlain by classified kelp cover

(lower panels) SPOT-5 false color images overlain by classified kelp cover (green) for four analysis periods near the SBC-LTER sampling site at AQ (the highlighted box in the upper panel). Images are available on April 13, June 4, August 15 and November 1 of 2006. The red pixels in the lower panels represent the location and the size of the SBC-LTER diver transects at AQ. Also shown is the total kelp wet biomass for the four subscenes. Note the two-fold changes in kelp biomass over the seven months in this time sequence.
