Time-series airborne remote sensing was used to monitor diurnal changes in the spatial distribution of a bloom of the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa in the shallow eutrophic waters of Barton Broad, United Kingdom. High spatial resolution images from the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI-2) were acquired over Barton Broad on 29 August 2005 at 09: 30 h, 12: 00 h, and 16: 00 h Greenwich mean time. Semiempirical water-leaving radiance algorithms were derived for the quantification of chlorophyll a (R-2 = 0.96) and C-phycocyanin (R-2 = 0.95) and applied to the CASI-2 imagery to generate dynamic, spatially resolving maps of the M. aeruginosa bloom. The development of the bloom may have been fostered by a combination of the recent improvements in the ambient light environment of Barton Broad, allied to the acute depletion of bioavailable nutrient pools, and stable hydrodynamic conditions. The vertical distribution of M. aeruginosa was highly transient; buoyant colonies formed early morning and late afternoon near-surface aggregations across the lake during periods of nonturbulent mixing (wind speed
