ROFFS™ Hurricane Harvey Rapid Response Project – Weekly Summaries Posted to Website

Our work is complete on our Hurricane Harvey Rapid Response Project and this will be our final posting for this project.  This project succeeded in tracking, mapping and spatially analyzing the freshwater plume runoff in the northwest Gulf of Mexico resulting from Hurricane Harvey hitting the Texas coast on August 25, 2017 using a combination of ocean color and infrared satellite imagery. Twenty-four weeks of satellite data were derived from NASA, NOAA and the European Space Agency (ESA) using a variety of polar orbiting platforms. It was determined that the freshwater plume signal, derived primarily from sea surface derived chlorophyll measurements, had a surface area expansion peak and mean of 2.14 and 1.57 times the pre-storm mean within the northwest Gulf of Mexico.

Weekly summaries and results are provided on the ROFFS™ website (https://dev.roffs.com/research-environmental/monitoring-hurricane-harvey-plume-gulf-mexico/) and have been publicized widely through social media, press releases, and ROFFS™ newsletter. The results are being sent directly to a variety of agencies and fisheries managers via email. In addition, the distribution included fishers, as well as, the general public including educators and government representatives. The data is available via ROFFS™ website or upon request ([email protected], 321-723-5759). If you would like more collaboration of data, more details or if you want assistance in tracking Hurricane Florence water please contact ROFFS™ at 321.723.5759 or [email protected].
