A new University of Washington computer model can predict underwater conditions in Puget Sound and off the coast of Washington three days into the future.

UW oceanographers are working on a system that will act like a ‘weather forecast’ for Pacific Northwest harmful algal blooms.

Better understanding of how a deadly algae grows offshore and gets carried to Pacific Northwest beaches has led to a computer model that can predict when the unseen threat will hit local beaches.

UW oceanographers found fast-flowing water and intense mixing in a submarine canyon just off the Washington coast.
