Abstract:
"As an enhancement to the SEAKEYS environmental monitoring network in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, software called the Environmental Information Synthesizer for Expert Systems (EISES) has been utilized together with a specially developed expert system to model and report the near real-time sensing of environmental conditions conducive to the onset of a harmful algal bloom (HAB, e.g., red tide?). Actual near real-time in situ fluorometry data was matched with wind speeds and Photosynthetically Active Radiation at the Long Key SEAKEYS station in Florida Bay to simulate the onset of an HAB. These incidences were e-mailed to the knowledge engineer as they occurred, and could in the future be e-mailed to regulatory agencies, or posted to a Web site, as is done with a similarly developed expert system for coral bleaching. This approach shows promise with the future remote detection of HAB pigment data via in situ or satellite sensors."
