Oct 23, 2020 · The Experimental Lake Erie Hypoxia forecast is updated daily, and uses a hydrodynamic model and weather forecast data to predict the location and movement of hypoxic bottom water up to five days in advance. Hypoxia is a condition of low dissolved oxygen (< 2 mg/L) that can be harmful to aquatic life. Hypoxic upwelling events along the coast can ...

Oct 22, 2024 · The central basin of Lake Erie provides drinking water to more than 2 million people along the Ohio coast. In the summer, the lake stratifies, with warm water on the top and cold, dense, deep water below. Oxygen in this deep water is used up, resulting in low oxygen, or hypoxia. This hypoxic environment is typically inhospitable to many animals.
Jul 16, 2024 · In the early 2000s, scientists from NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) teamed up with Canadian researchers to deploy buoys with sensors to monitor the presence of offshore hypoxic zones – areas of the lake with very little dissolved oxygen – in Lake Erie. This effort became the foundation for a new area of research at GLERL, one that has ultimately led to an ...
Jun 1, 2016 · To understand why hypoxia never fully disappeared and has recently re-emerged as an issue in Lake Erie (Hawley et al., 2006, Scavia et al., 2014), this section re-examines the causes of hypoxia, how it may be altered by climate change, and its documented and potential effects on food webs. 2.2.1.

In recent years, the central basin of Lake Erie has experienced low-oxygen conditions, despite measures taken by surrounding states and provinces to reduce nutrient inputs. We studied the factors that led to these low-oxygen conditions and forecasted future oxygen conditions and their impacts. Key factors addressed include phosphorus loading, zebra mussel (dreissenid) populations, and climate
Sep 15, 2021 · NOAA's Experimental Lake Erie Hypoxia Forecast predicted that the Greater Cleveland area would be exposed to a large mass of low oxygen water, also known as hypoxic water, moving in from the deeper parts of Lake Erie. Hypoxic water can have a foul odor due to the reduced sulfur and nitrogen compounds that come from decomposing matter at the ...
This program uses an integrated approach to understand the environmental drivers of HABs and hypoxia to predict events. This approach includes using satellite images, remote sensing, buoys, a comprehensive monitoring program in Lake Erie, Saginaw Bay, and Lake Huron, and advanced genetic techniques to understand the long and short-term seasonal dynamics of HABs and hypoxia.
