NOAA Experiments with Forecast System for Harmful Algal Blooms

摘要

"One cow produces as much waste as 18 people," Bill Hafs, a county official who has lobbied the state Legislature for stricter waste rules, told the Times. "There just isn't enough land to absorb that much manure, but we don't have laws to force people to stop." The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has launched an experimental forecasting system in the Great Lakes that researchers hope will enable them to predict an onset of harmful algal blooms (HABs).
