Abstract

Algal blooms have negatively affected people in terms of economy, society, and environment. This research was focus on the using of Internet of Things (IoT) to determine chlorophyll A and sea surface temperature at the Gulf of Thailand. The IoT used in this study was related to the Aqua MODIS (Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) imagery and SeaDAS (SeaWiFS Data Analysis System) program. This program showed the results of the Satellite data with chlorophyll A and sea surface temperature during Jan 7-13, 2023. The results showed that chlorophyll A concentrations were found in the study area with the range of 2.31-4.35 mg/m-³ while the sea surface temperature were determined with the range of 28- 29oC. However, this study was limited by using the only data from the Aqua MODIS satellite. Therefore, it will be better to study the data comparison from satellite photos with field measurements of sea surface temperature and chlorophyll A content in the appropriate locations.
