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. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. onGoing historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact monthly https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:NOS-HABOFS-LakeErie Preview graphic PNG 0172375 0183933 0209038 0239146 0279234 0279446 0288351 0299571 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2024-11-18 publication ALGAL BLOOM PRESENCE bacteria - cyanobacteria biological data harmful algal blooms (HABs) theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS MODIS Ocean and Land Colour Instrument instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS imagery satellite data theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS Aqua Sentinel-3A Sentinel-3B Terra platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS NOAA Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Great Lakes place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NOS/CO-OPS > Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce DOC/NOAA/NOS/NCCOS > National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian MODIS MODIS Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer MODIS (or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument aboard the Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) satellites. Terra's orbit around the Earth is timed so that it passes from north to south across the equator in the morning, while Aqua passes south to north over the equator in the afternoon. Terra MODIS and Aqua MODIS are viewing the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths (see MODIS Technical Specifications). MODIS Technical Specifications Orbit: 705 km, 10:30 a.m. descending node (Terra) or 1:30 p.m. ascending node (Aqua), sun-synchronous, near-polar, circular Scan Rate: 20.3 rpm, cross track Swath Dimensions: 2330 km (cross track) by 10 km (along track at nadir) Telescope: 17.78 cm diam. off-axis, afocal (collimated), with intermediate field stop Size: 1.0 x 1.6 x 1.0 m Weight: 228.7 kg Power: 162.5 W (single orbit average) Data Rate: 10.6 Mbps (peak daytime); 6.1 Mbps (orbital average) Quantization: 12 bits Spatial Resolution: 250 m (bands 1-2); 500 m (bands 3-7); 1000 m (bands 8-36) Design Life: 6 years (From: http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/index.html) Ocean and Land Colour Instrument Ocean and Land Colour Instrument OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument) is a medium-resolution imaging spectrometer that uses five cameras to provide a wide field of view. SLSTR and OLCI are optical instruments with an overlap of their swath path, allowing for new combined applications. This is currently the only sensor in space with the capabilities of detecting cyanobacteria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel-3, retrieved 2018-03-14) The SENTINEL-3 Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) is based on the opto-mechanical and imaging design of ENVISAT's MERIS instrument. The main characteristics of the OLCI are: swath width: 1 270 km push-broom imaging spectrometer with five cameras, mitigation of sun-glint contamination by tilting cameras in westerly direction spatial sampling: 300 m @ SSP spectrum: 21 bands [0.4-1.02] µm radiometric accuracy: 2% abs, 0.1% rel launch mass: 153 kg size: 1.3 m3 design lifetime: 7.5 years.
