In the MAB dissipation phase, the landing or sinking and decomposition of U. prolifera would alter the physical-chemical environment of seawater and cause ecological, environmental, and economic problems. To understand MAB dissipation features, we used multiple sensors to analyze the spatiotemporal variation of the MAB dissipation phase in the southern Yellow Sea. The results show the variation in the daily dissipation rate (DR) was inconsistent from year to year. Based on the DR variation, a simple method of estimating MAB dissipation days was proposed for the first time. Verification results of the method, from 2018 to 2020, showed the estimated dissipation days were relatively consistent with the results obtained by remote sensing imagery. From 2007 to 2020, the order in which macroalgae landed in the coastal cities of Shandong Peninsula can be roughly divided into two types. In one type, the macroalgae landed first in Rizhao, followed by Qingdao, Rushan, and Haiyang. In the other type, they landed in the reverse order. The MABs annual distribution density showed significant differences in the southern Yellow Sea. These results provided a basis for evaluating the MABs\u2019 impact on marine ecology and formulating the green-tide prevention and control strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13193811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,27]],"date-time":"2021-09-27T22:16:38Z","timestamp":1632780998000},"page":"3811","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Monitoring the Dissipation of the Floating Green Macroalgae Blooms in the Yellow Sea (2007\u20132020) on the Basis of Satellite Remote Sensing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Deyu","family":"An","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oceanographic Instrumentation, Qilu University of Techonology (Shandong Academy of Sciences), Qingdao 266001, China"},{"name":"CAS Key Laboratory of Coastal Environmental Processes and Ecological Remediation, Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yantai 264003, China"}]},{"given":"Dingfeng","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oceanographic Instrumentation, Qilu University of Techonology (Shandong Academy of Sciences), Qingdao 266001, China"},{"name":"CAS Key Laboratory of Coastal Environmental Processes and Ecological Remediation, Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yantai 264003, China"}]},{"given":"Xiangyang","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAS Key Laboratory of Coastal Environmental Processes and Ecological Remediation, Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yantai 264003, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7080-6200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Oceanographic Instrumentation, Qilu University of Techonology (Shandong Academy of Sciences), Qingdao 266001, China"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAS Key Laboratory of Coastal Environmental Processes and Ecological Remediation, Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yantai 264003, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9136-9051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qianguo","family":"Xing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CAS Key Laboratory of Coastal Environmental Processes and Ecological Remediation, Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yantai 264003, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"Center for Ocean Mega-Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266071, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1009","DOI":"10.2112\/04-700A.1","article-title":"Macroalgal Population and Sustainability","volume":"21","author":"Morand","year":"2005","journal-title":"J.
