Experimental Forecast for River Chlorophyll

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

Forecast total chlorophyll concentrations in streams across various locations, part of the Ecological Forecasting Initiative (EFI) which is a collaboration between USGS and this research organization.

Detailed example

Predictions - near-term forecasts (up to 30 days in advance) of total stream chlorophyll with separate graphs for model drivers and their trends/forecasts.

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

b) Pilot – The use case has been deployed in a limited test or pilot capacity.

Expected benefit

Part of an experimental process to visualize stream forecasts for chlorophyll, improve model refinements, improve model accuracy, test understanding of drivers of harmful algal blooms.

Controls / human review

ATO: No; PIA: Not published
