Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring karenia brevis blooms in the gulf of mexico using satellite ocean color imagery and other data
Richard P. Stumpf,M.E. Culver,Patricia A. Tester,Michelle C. Tomlinson,Gary J. Kirkpatrick,Bradley A. Pederson,Earnest W. Truby,Varis Ransibrahmanakul,M. Soracco +8 more
TL;DR: The Gulf of Mexico Harmful algal blooms (HABs) of Karenia brevis are a recurrent problem in the Gulf of the USA as discussed by the authors, with nearly annual occurrences on the Florida southwest coast and fewer occurrences on northwest Florida and Texas coasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing a cyanobacterial bloom in Western Lake Erie using satellite imagery and meteorological data
TL;DR: The distribution and intensity of a bloom of the toxic cyanobacterium, Microcystis aeruginosa, in western Lake Erie was characterized using a combination of satellite ocean-color imagery, field data, and meteorological observations as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relating spectral shape to cyanobacterial blooms in the Laurentian Great Lakes
Timothy T. Wynne,Richard P. Stumpf,Michelle C. Tomlinson,R. A. Warner,Patricia A. Tester,Julianne Dyble,Gary L. Fahnenstiel +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a change in the spectral shape at 681nm is used to distinguish blooms of cyanobacteria from bloom of other phytoplankton via MERIS satellite sensor imagery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the use of SeaWiFS imagery for detecting Karenia brevis harmful algal blooms in the eastern Gulf of Mexico
Michelle C. Tomlinson,Richard P. Stumpf,Varis Ransibrahmanakul,Earnest W. Truby,Gary J. Kirkpatrick,Bradley A. Pederson,Gabriel A. Vargo,Cynthia A. Heil +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a regional algorithm that compensates for the scattering of sediments in coastal waters can be applied to accurately estimate chlorophyll concentrations in coastal areas of Florida, which is the first step in an early warning system to forecast K. brevis blooms in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skill assessment for an operational algal bloom forecast system
Richard P. Stumpf,Michelle C. Tomlinson,Julie A. Calkins,Barbara Kirkpatrick,Kathleen M. Fisher,Kate Nierenberg,Robert Currier,Timothy T. Wynne +7 more
TL;DR: The study indicates the importance of systematic sampling, even when using qualitative descriptors, the use of validation resolution to evaluate forecast capabilities, and the need to match forecast and validation resolutions.
