| Title: | Documentation for the NOAA Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (RTOFS) models from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NODC Accession 0026419) |
| Abstract: | This NODC accession contains documentation files that apply to all data collections archived at NODC relating to the NOAA Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (RTOFS) models generated by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction. Documentation files include the NODC - NCEP Submission Agreement, a file containing the FGDC CSDGM format discovery metadata template file used to construct FGDC CSDGM-formatted metadata files for each model output accession, and a change log file that documents known changes to the NCEP RTOFS model processing software that will be periodically updated as the model changes.
Each NOAA Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (Atlantic) dataset comprises output fields from the daily operational RTOFS model runs conducted at the National Centers for Atmospheric Prediction. Each model run produces a series of gridded fields containing results of model computations for ocean temperature, salinity, currents, sea-surface height, and possibly other properties. The fields are encoded in the standard GRIdded Binary (GRIB) file format. NODC compiles a series of files into monthly accessions to facilitate archival storage and public access. |
