FWC bulletin cell counts are inputted into the West Florida Coastal Ocean Model (WFCOM) Nowcast/Forecast model as available based on 5 detection levels (present, very low, low, medium, high) to trace physical transport of the observed biomass at the surface and bottom.

As a joint effort of tracking and predicting the red tides in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. southest coasts, a Slocum glider was deployed off the west Florida coast by the Ocean Technology Group at College of Marine Science, University of South Florida. The glider is collecting oceanographic data in the water clomun across the West Florida Continental Shelf. The near real-time data are shown in the following preliminary plots.
