Harmful Algal Blooms Observing System (HABSOS)

The Harmful Algal Blooms Observing System (HABSOS) website offers a regional, web-based data and information dissemination tool. The website provides a secure data entry tool for collection of cell count observations of the algal species Karenia brevis. The HABSOS Internet Mapping Service (IMS) aggregates and displays data entered into the system. This enhances online assessment and analysis of HAB events through the integration of in situ observations, surface forecasts, and powerful satellite imagery products into the IMS.

This map provides access to Karenia brevis presence and absence data for the past 30 days, as provided by NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services' Harmful Algal Bloom Operational Forecast System (HAB-OFS) and by NOAA's National Coastal Data Development Center's HABSOS data entry tool.

In addition, you can access such modeling datasets as the Intra-Americas Sea Ocean Nowcast/Forecast System (IASNFS), the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM), and the National Weather Service's National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) from this map, as well as remote sensing imagery and in situ winds.
