Vibriosis
We began archiving our daily Vibrio spp. proliferation forecasts for Southwest Florida and disseminating them on https://chl.crc.nd.edu/interactive-viewer. This is a visualization portal for NOAA’s development instance of its Operational Global Storm Surge and Tide Forecasting System, STOFS-2D-Global. Within this portal, users can select a forecast cycle of interest and view animated streams of Vibrio spp. conveying in coastal waters. These predictions are made using STOFS-2D-Global barotropic mode, its depth-integrated velocity fields, and Lagrangian particle tracking with known oyster bed locations as source points. This capability will be built out to expand beyond Southwest Florida.
