Regional Hydrodynamic Model Outputs of the NOAA San Francisco Bay Operational Forecast System (SFBOFS)

Description

NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a San Francisco Bay Operational Forecast System (SFBOFS). SFBOFS is based on a three-dimensional FVCOM model that runs on NOAA's High Performance Computing System (HPCS). SFBOFS provides water levels, currents, water temperature and salinity nowcast and forecast guidance as well as interpolated winds from National Weather Service products for two subdomains: the San Francisco Bay and the San Francisco Bay Entrance. SFBOFS runs four times per day and generates 6-hour nowcasts and 48-hour forecast guidance. SFBOFS products include time series graphics at station locations and aerial animations of the San Francisco Bay for all five parameters (winds, water levels, currents, temperature and salinity).
