Description
NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a West Coast Operational Forecast System (WCOFS). WCOFS is based on a three-dimensional ROMS model that runs on NOAA's High Performance Computers (HPC). WCOFS provides water level, currents, water temperature and salinity nowcast and forecast guidance as well as interpolated winds from National Weather Service products. WCOFS runs four times per day and generates 6-hour nowcasts and 48-hour forecast guidance. WCOFS products include time series graphics at station locations and aerial animations of the whole West Coast for all five parameters (wind, water level, currents, temperature and salinity).
