Geospatial and satellite

GISTDA ocean color.

Satellite proxy layer for chlorophyll-a, sea-surface temperature, and marine-condition monitoring. Useful for bloom, sediment, and coastal-condition context, but not a substitute for bacteria sampling.

Access class note

Public web, file, catalog, or documented endpoint access with no paid gate implied in the source profile.

Used in layers

page reference only

Useful fields

layer name, geometry type, CRS/projection, bounding box, feature attributes, resolution/scale, update date

Reliability rating

Medium-high for discovery and context; operational reliability depends on endpoint stability.

How this helps travel recommendations

Improves map context, nearby pivots, route geography, protected-area context, coast exposure, and destination coverage.

Endpoint and API notes

Satellite proxy layer for chlorophyll-a, sea-surface temperature, and marine-condition monitoring. Useful for bloom, sediment, and coastal-condition context, but not a substitute for bacteria sampling.

Open the source endpoint or documentation. Return to the Thailand data atlas.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Use OGC services, GeoJSON, SHP, STAC, PBF, or documented feature layers; record CRS, geometry type, and update date.

Recommended refresh

Refresh daily, or more often only when the source publishes explicit current-status fields.

Travel scoring role

Improves map context, nearby pivots, route geography, protected-area context, coast exposure, and destination coverage.

Comparable / backup source

OpenStreetMap, Geofabrik, GISTDA, HDX, WorldPop, Protected Planet, Open Development Thailand, and official boundary layers.

Example request

curl -L "https://ocean.gistda.or.th/"

Failure modes

  • Large layers can be slow or tiled.
  • CRS/projection mismatches can break maps.
  • Feature names and boundaries can vary across sources.
  • Dashboard markup or public-page layout can change without notice.

Last checked and source confidence

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
