      Title: Harmful Algal Bloom Mapping System (HABMapS) Karenia brevis cell count information
      Online_Linkage: ftp://csc.noaa.gov/pub/crs/hab/habnrts/gbrevecnts*.zip
  Description:
    Abstract:
      The HABMapS is an interactive mapping application that provides access to recent
      data on harmful algal bloom and on the environmental conditions that may affect
      the spread of these blooms.  Information on the presence and absence of Karenia
      brevis, a phytoplankton that causes red tide, is provided by the Florida Marine
      Research Institute and made available via HAMMapS. The data, and thus these
      datasets, are updated from the FMRI source by the NOAA Coastal Services
      Center at irregular intervals varying from a few days to several weeks.
    Purpose:
      This dataset is gathered from the Florida Marine Research Institute to provide
      up-to-date maps of the location of red tide events in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Logical_Consistency_Report: Attribute Description: Attribute data is quality controlled by a "proofing" process. A proofing screen is built into the database and after a record is entered it is reviewed for accuracy when a proofing person looks over the datasheet and verifies the data entry. The record is then saved in the tables as proofed and is not changeable in the main data entry screen. Outliers generated from incorrect latitude or longitude values are discarded.
  Completeness_Report: none
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Approximate locations around 1 km.
