Computer-Modeled Image of Hindcast of the 2005 Bloom

Using measurements taken from New England waters during the bloom, researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) produced a computer-modeled “hindcast” of the 2005 bloom.  This image shows the modeled distribution of Alexandrium for May 15, 2005, with red showing the highest concentration of cells and blue the lowest. To view the model simulation, visit the WHOI Web site. Image courtesy of Ruoying He and Dennis McGillicuddy, WHOI.
