browse graphicPreview graphic
This archive information package contains inputs to, and outputs from the NOAA Harmful Algal Bloom Operational Forecast System (HAB-OFS) for the Lake Erie region in the form of seasonal bulletin documents and processed satellite imagery in GeoTIFF format, beginning in 2017 and continuing to the present. The HAB-OFS produces daily forecasts for cyanobacteria blooms (blue-green algae) in Lake Erie. The source data are updated at least once daily and are available as a bulletin (pdf) for download as needed. The forecasts contain an analysis of the location of cyanobacteria blooms, as well as forecasts of transport, mixing, scum formation and bloom decline based on the analysis of information from data providers.
