Satellite-derived chlorophyll-a concentrations for Lake Harsha (USA) using Mixture Density Networks and Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 imagery

This dataset contains satellite-derived chlorophyll-a data of Lake Harsha (USA) for the period 21 Mar. 2013 - 01 Feb. 2021. Chlorophyll-a concentrations have been calculated using Mixture Density Networks and Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 imagery.

Mixture Density Networks are a class of neural networks that tackle the inverse problem by modelling the multimodal distribution of target variables using a mixture of Gaussians. For more information, please refer to the following:
