I am exploiting the PlanetScope imagery in the context of monitoring aquatic systems. Our team has demonstrated the high potential of this data in several publications. Here, you can find one of them addressing the detection of harmful algal blooms and retrieval of water quality parameters in lakes: https://www.isprs-ann-photogramm-remote-sens-spatial-inf-sci.net/V-3-2021/191/2021/isprs-annals-V-3-2021-191-2021.pdf

We would like to share some stories of how our customers’ ideas have been implemented in Planet’s data and tools, to show how your ideas can make a difference at Planet. A customer reported a bug on filtering the Reports API and stated that there was no possibility to query a 1-day interval.

EOMAP -a world leading company for optical remote sensing of marine and freshwater environments and one of Planet’s partners, has recently published their work on how they reveal the details and possible reasons for massive fish kill in the Oder River between Germany and Poland, using Planet data.  As algae has been considered as one of the significant causes of this disaster, researchers at EOMAP could focus on algae bloom with regard and location thanks to the frequent and precise satellite data.  “Planet’s daily satellite images were able to show for the first time, in great accuracy, where and how quickly chlorophyll concentrations and other water quality parameters developed downstream of the Oder River over this summer,” Dr. Marcus Apel, Director of Business Development at Planet.
