NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a Gulf of Maine Operational Forecast System (GoMOFS). Based on Rutgers University's Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), this OFS is to forecast water levels, currents, temperature and salinity for Gulf of Maine and its adjacent coastal area. The forecasts, which extend out to 72 hours, will support the maritime user community in navigation, emergency response, and ecological forecasts, etc. GoMOFS runs on NOAA's High Performance Computers (HPC) in a new Coastal Ocean Modeling Framework (COMF) developed by CO-OPS. As a result, GoMOFS has direct access to National Weather Service operational meteorological products that it needs to run reliably.
