Experimental Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) bulletin forecast products and associated satellite imagery from Lake Erie from 2008-09-04 to 2016-11-01 created by the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science

This collection contains inputs to, and outputs from the NOAA Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Experimental Forecast for Lake Erie in the form of bulletin documents and processed satellite imagery in GeoTIFF format, beginning on 2008-09-04 and continuing to 2016-11-01. The HAB Experimental Bulletin was operated by the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science to develop and produce experimental forecast bulletins for cyanobacteria blooms (blue-green algae) in Lake Erie. The bulletins contain an analysis of the location of cyanobacteria blooms, forecasts of transport, mixing, scum formation and bloom decline based on the analysis of information from data providers. The bulletins are emailed to subscribers twice weekly during an active bloom. Each year, NCEI creates a new accession containing the data collected during the previous 12 months. The experimental bulletin was started in 2008 and became operational in 2017.
