NOAA - Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory
Lake Erie HAB Bulletin Forecast Products data are posted on the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) website. The data sets are described and linked to below.
This data collection contains inputs to, and outputs from the NOAA Harmful Algal Bloom Operational Forecast System
(HAB-OFS) in the form of bulletin documents and processed satellite imagery in GeoTIFF format, beginning on 2017-06-25
and ending on 2020-10-20. The HAB-OFS was operated by the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services
(CO-OPS) to produce forecast bulletins for cyanobacteria blooms (blue-green algae) in Lake Erie. The bulletins contain
an analysis of the location of cyanobacteria blooms, as well as 3-day 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.

This data collection is posted on the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) website.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 analys
is 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.
