The Coastal Ocean Circulation Influence On The 2018 West Florida Shelf K. Brevis Red Tide Bloom, Robert H. Weisberg, Yonggang Liu, Chad Lembke, Chuanmin Hu, Katherine Hubbard, Matthew Garrett

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Blooms of the harmful alga, Karenia brevis on the west Florida continental shelf are thought to initiate offshore before manifesting as a nuisance along the coastline. Contributing to such blooms are a complex sequence of events occurring within oligotrophic waters, which in any given year may or may not be facilitated by the ocean circulation. Once initiation occurs, the delivery from the region of offshore origination to the region of coastline manifestation requires an upwelling circulation, whereby K. brevis cells are advected shoreward along the bottom. The 2018 K. brevis bloom was particularly intense owing to cells from the …
