•Time series partitioning was applied to remote sensing data from dynamic coastal waters.•Coherent spatial patterns were formed by distinctive temporal behaviour.•Partitioning ocean color time series offer functional view to coastal processes. Coastal waters are subject to ongoing long-term developm...
