Short summary
We created a 20-year dataset tracking coastal water conditions in China and the United States using satellite images. By improving how the satellite data are processed in areas with complex atmospheric conditions and diverse water properties, we produced more reliable and complete observations. This helps researchers better monitor environmental changes and water quality along coasts that are often difficult to study.
