Chesapeake Bay Bloom Position Forecast
These movies show the modeled bloom position from the date the satellite imagery (2024-09-08) to a minimum of 96 hours from time of the model run, using water current data from the Semi-implicit Cross-scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model (SCHISM). Potential for bloom movement and algal growth/decay is forecasted in 3-dimensions using a coupled bio-physical model combined with the satellite imagery. The modeled output does not contain clouds. Black indicates the absence of a M. polykrikoides bloom and grey indicates area with no data.
Surface concentration of the bloom, which is likely to be experienced by boaters. From 2024-09-08 up to 6 days.
Total bloom biomass--all the bloom, both surface and subsurface. From 2024-09-08 up to 6 days.
