NOS - HABscope

Supplemental document- The HABscope has an ipod attached to the eyepiece of the
microscope. Volunteers use an app on the home screen to capture a video of the 20mL of
beach water they collected. That video is uploaded to the GCOOS website and is analyzed by an
alogrithm which will enumerate the number of Karenia brevis cells in the sample. The number
of cells are then fed into a respiratory forcast that is available to the public so they can avoid
respiratory irritation at affected beaches.

Below is an internal webpage at habscope.gcoos.org where videos are analyzed and
enumerated into cells/L. This is not available to the public.
