The Gulf Coast Red Tide Respiratory Forecast relies on Karenia brevis cell counts collected at individual beach locations by regional partners in Florida and Texas. Additionally, HABScope - a network of community scientists, provides supplementary monitoring data. The forecast combines Karenia brevis cell counts with forecasted wind speed and direction to predict potential respiratory irritation risk at individual beaches every 3 hours over the next 36 hours.
