The NOMADS data server address has been changed. The old addresshttps://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov:9090/has been changed tohttps://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/Please update any bookmarks or scripts that use the NOMADS data server.Welcome to the Marine Modeling and Analysis Branch of the Environmental Modeling Center at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction in College Park, Maryland. We are responsible for the development of improved numericalmarine forecasting and analysis systems within the NOAA National Weather Service. Operational ProductsThe global operational Real-Time Ocean ForecastSystem (Global RTOFS) at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction is based on an eddy resolving 1/12 global HYCOM (HYbridCoordinates Ocean Model) and is part of a larger national backbonecapability of ocean modeling at the National Weather Service in a strongpartnership with the US Navy. The Global Wave Ensemble System (GWES) was discontinued on 23 Sep 2020 and has been replaced by an improved GEFS-Waves, consisting of a one-way nesting of the WAVEWATCH III system with the recently upgraded GFS Ensemble Forecast System. The NOAA press release on the upgrade is here, and information on GEFS is available here. The GEFSv12 Service Change Notice (issued 8/20/2020, PDF) is here, and you can find information on the evaluation of the GEFS-Waves portion of the GEFS system in the Model Evaluation Group (MEG) Summary page on the GEFSv12 upgrade here. The model data is available four times a day (0, 6, 12, 18)Z from: Production FTP (gefs.YYYYMMDD -->cycle-->waves) NOMADS (Ocean Models-->GFS Ensemble Wave-->(grib filter or https file download). Details on the products can be found here (scroll down to GEFS - Wave - Global).A third generation wave model run four times a day (00Z, 06Z, 12Z, and18Z). Each run starts with 9-, 6- and 3-hour hindcasts and produces forecasts of every 3 hours from the initial time out to 180 hours (84 hours for the Great Lakes).Model SuiteGlobalHurricane WavesGreat LakesNCEP Wave EnsembleNCEP/FNMOC Wave EnsembleNearshore Wave Prediction SystemThe Polar and Great Lakes Ice group works on sea ice analysis from satellite,sea ice modeling, and ice-atmosphere-ocean coupling. Our work supportsthe Alaska Region of the National Weather Service, the Great Lakes Marine Forecasting group in the ClevelandNWSFO, and other groups, as well as the EnvironmentalModeling Center, of which the ice group is a part.Ocean Winds- Satellite Remote Sensing:Sensors: SSM/I and QuikSCATProducts: wind speeds, wind vectors, atmospheric water vapor & liquid waterconcentrationsFukushima Tracers NCEP/NWS deployed three-dimensional particle tracing within our Global RTOFS system to predict the long-term movement of radionuclidesin the ocean shortly after the Japanese nuclear disaster near Fukushima.Fukushima Surface Plume Study NCEP/NWS conducted a surface plume study using data from our Global RTOFS system to predict the first 100 days of movement of radionuclidesin the ocean shortly after the Japanese nuclear disaster near Fukushima.Join the MMAB Mailing ListThis is a low-volume announcement list for changes to our products and services.SDM Contact Notes:Ocean Models -- Avichal MehraWave Models -- Avichal Mehra
