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.

CRITICAL 250 m works on the Meghna and nowhere else in this study spatial blocks Dhaka
MODIS 250 m is the only genuinely daily inland option back to 2000, but it needs a wide channel. The Meghna at 2-6 km qualifies. Village ponds, shrimp ponds and Dhaka lakes are all far below one pixel.
What to do: Restrict MODIS to the Meghna main channel at Matlab and the Matamuhuri mouth at Chakaria. Do not run it over Dhaka - it returns a column of nulls and wastes an hour.
