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