Abstract
Abstract Intense plankton blooms (colloquially called ‘red tides’) are becoming an increasingly important phenomenon in coastal waters. This Letter shows how the European satellite sensor MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) can be used to detect a peak in the optical spectrum of water‐leaving radiance near 705 nm which provides a more specific response to some types of these blooms. Images and spectra are presented, derived from a MERIS scene where small areas have this response. One such area is at the site of a fish farm where bloom conditions were confirmed by surface observations and measurements. The observed spectra are compared to model results to demonstrate how these responses arise. Inspection of data from other parts of the world shows similar features in US and European waters. Acknowledgments The European Space Agency provided the data for this study under the AO program for MERIS calibration and validation. Funding came from the Canadian Federal Government (Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Canadian Space Agency's GRIP program).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
