## Dataset Identification Information:

  ------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
  Dataset       RTOFS(Atlantic) Nowcast and Forecasts
  Title:        

  Originator:   NOAA/NWS/NCEP/EMC/MMAB (Marine Modeling and Analysis
                Branch)
  ------------- -----------------------------------------------------------

## Dataset Description:

The purpose of the NOAA Real-Time Forecast System (Atlantic) is to
generate daily nowcasts (*i.e.* analysis) and forecasts at 24 hour
intervals out to 120 hours of ocean properties for the Atlantic Ocean
including all of the coastal regions of the United States East and Gulf
Coasts. The development of RTOFS(Atlantic) was started due to a growing
demand for high-resolution basin-wide ocean information as well as
improved surface forecasts in coastal areas. RTOFS(Atlantic) demand was
recognized by the U.S. National Research Council which recommended that
the nation establish an \`\`operational capability for nowcasting and
forecasting currents, water temperatures and related fields to support
coastal and offshore operations and management\'\' (National Research
Council, 1989). Development of RTOFS(Atlantic) for the Atlantic,
Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico began in 2004.

## Quality Information: 

-   The model uses curvilinear coordinates in the horizontal and hybrid
    coordinates in the vertical.

-   The orthogonal grid with 1/12 degree horizontal resolution is
    defined with 1200 x 1684 points (see Figure 1).

![](media/image2.jpeg){width="6.7in" height="5.025in"}

Figure 1: Orthogonal Curvilinear Coordinate Grid

-   The model is defined on 26 vertical coordinates (21 isopycnal, 5
    z-level).However, prior to June 06, 2007 the GRIB data contained in
    the archive has been interpolated to 40 fixed depths (meters): 0, 3,
    6, 10, 20, 30, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450,
    500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400,
    1500, 1750, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6000.

-   RTOFS produces many GRIB files. Surface fields are produced every
    hour and volume fields are produced every 24 hours. A 24 hour
    nowcast, or analysis, is run and is followed by a 120 hour forecast.

Examples of file types and their naming conventions:

*ofs_atl.t00z.F024.grb* 24 hour forecast, full volume at Z-levels

*ofs_atl.t00z.F024.3d.grb* 24 hour forecast, full volume at native
levels

*ofs_atl.t00z.f001.grb* 1 hour forecast, surface only, partial set
