Using Open Source Data & Machine Learning to Predict Ocean Temperatures

In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to take open source data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), clean it, and forecast future temperatures using no-code machine learning methods. This particular data comes from the Harmful Algal BloomS Observation System (HABSOS). There are several interesting questions to ask of this data -- namely, what is the relationship between algal blooms and water temperature fluctuations. For this tutorial, we're going to start with a basic question: can we predict what temperatures will be over the next five months? There are a lot of approaches to this; what is shown below is just one approach.
