Disclosure statement:

Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have been an employee with NOAA for 10 years now, working in areas such as Harmful Algal Bloom data management followed by the research and development of HAB forecasting and remote sensing detection of blooms. I have published, and been a co-author on numerous paper regarding bloom detection and forecasting of Karenia brevis in Florida and more recently, toxic cyanobacteria in the Great Lakes. Two recent papers related to this topic are: Tomlinson et al. 2009. An evaluation of remote sensing techniques for enhanced detection of the toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis. Remote Sensing of ENvironment, 113: 598-609; Stumpf et al. 2009. Skill assessment of an operational algal bloom forecast system. Journal of Marine Systems, 76:151-161. In addition, I received a M.S in Oceanography at Old Dominion University.
