Abstract
    Satellite remote sensing has been widely used to monitor the water quality of inland and coastal environments. Using satellite data from the Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (L5TM), Ho et al. showed an increase in peak summertime bloom intensity in 68% of the 71 large lakes worldwide from 1982 to 2012. However, we question the veracity of their finding for at least two reasons: (1) satellite-derived reflectance in a single near-infrared (NIR) band is not a reliable proxy for bloom strength, and (2) the infrequent satellite observations from L5TM make it difficult to draw statistically meaningful conclusions.
