3. GOES-R, May 2004 Coastal Ocean Science Monitoring and Forecasting Harmful Algal Blooms Soon fully operational by NOAA/NOS in Gulf of Mexico; Federal/state/commercial collaboration Orbimage - SeaWiFS Models Satellite imagery Moorings Impact evaluation Orbimage - SeaWiFS Field samples Email Bulletins to state & local managers GOES-R value

4. GOES-R, May 2004 Coastal Ocean Science Subscribers County Government State Government Federal Government Non-governmental organizations Academic Institutions HAB Bulletin Subscribers

5. GOES-R, May 2004 Coastal Ocean Science HAB Detection & Monitoring Methods Ecological –New blooms (Karenia) –Upwelling variability (domoic acid) –Other factors (frontal development (Alexandrium) –GOES Potential for Karenia: diurnal vertical migration Optical –Discrimination of Karenia or dinoflagellates from diatoms, blue greens (GOES additional bands will improve methods)

6. GOES-R, May 2004 Coastal Ocean Science Resolution difference; 1 km vs. ~300 m; Better characterization of blooms in estuaries SeaWiFS red band MODIS red

7. GOES-R, May 2004 Coastal Ocean Science Cloud clearing GOES AVHRR, same day

8. GOES-R, May 2004 Coastal Ocean Science Complementary Ecological & optical methods GOES enhancements Improved averages (cloud clearing) Better determination of optical properties Additional ecology -diurnal variation Chl Anomaly Optics; low bb & high chl-a

9. GOES-R, May 2004 Coastal Ocean Science GOES capabilities for HABs Higher resolution, improved detection in bays and near coast. Additional bands. –atmospheric correction Turbid water Absorbing aerosol (soot, pollution, dust) –Improved bio-optical algorithms Better chlorophyll estimates Some discrimination of dinoflagellates
