Algae Dataset
Every data hub, dataset, sensor, variable, paper and limitation in one tree — and for each: where it comes from, how far back it goes, how often it captures, why it belongs in a cholera study, and why it does not work everywhere.

Why it is used for cholera.
THE validation archive for ocean colour
Why not — catalogue limitation. Coverage of the northern Bay of Bengal is sparse. Search before assuming.
Site applicability
| Site | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Chakaria HDSS | PARTIAL | CHECK FOR BAY OF BENGAL CRUISES — this is your best hope for free validation data |
| Matlab HDSS | YES | Unlikely to have inland Bangladesh data |
| Dhaka City | YES | Unlikely |
