NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a Port of New York and New Jersey Operational Forecast System (NYOFS). The cornerstone of NYOFS is an advanced three-dimensional hydrodynamic model that uses realtime water-level and wind data and other inputs to predict the water levels and currents at thousands of locations throughout the harbor. The system runs in both nowcast and forecast modes. The nowcast mode is driven by real-time water levels and winds from the New York/New Jersey PORTS®, and is updated hourly. The forecast mode performs 30-hour forecasts four times a day.

NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a San Francisco Bay Operational Forecast System (SFBOFS). SFBOFS is based on a three-dimensional FVCOM model that runs on NOAA's High Performance Computing System (HPCS). SFBOFS provides water levels, currents, water temperature and salinity nowcast and forecast guidance as well as interpolated winds from National Weather Service products for two subdomains: the San Francisco Bay and the San Francisco Bay Entrance. SFBOFS runs four times per day and generates 6-hour nowcasts and 48-hour forecast guidance.

NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a St. John's River Operational Forecast System (SJROFS). The Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) has been used to perform operational nowcasts and forecasts for the Lower St. John's River. The EFDC model solves the three-dimensional, vertically hydrostatic, free surface, turbulent averaged equations of motions for a variable density fluid. The physics of the EFDC model and many aspects of the computation scheme are equivalent to the widely used Blumberg-Mellor model (POM).

NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a Tampa Bay Operational Forecast System (TBOFS). TBOFS is based on a three-dimensional ROMS model that runs on NOAA's High Performance Computers (HPC). TBOFS provides water level, currents, water temperature and salinity nowcast and forecast guidance as well as interpolated winds from National Weather Service products. TBOFS runs four times per day and generates 6-hour nowcasts and 48-hour forecast guidance.

NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a West Coast Operational Forecast System (WCOFS). WCOFS is based on a three-dimensional ROMS model that runs on NOAA's High Performance Computers (HPC). WCOFS provides water level, currents, water temperature and salinity nowcast and forecast guidance as well as interpolated winds from National Weather Service products. WCOFS runs four times per day and generates 6-hour nowcasts and 48-hour forecast guidance.

The Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Radiometer-2 (SBUV/2) is an operational remote sensor designed to map, on a global scale, total ozone concentrations and the vertical distribution of ozone in the earth's atmosphere.

GOES Satellite Data - Block 11 (GVAR_B11) - GVAR is the data transmission format used to broadcast environmental data measured by the independent GOES Imager and Sounder instruments. The Block 11 data files contain ancillary instrument data and metadata that may be useful to expert users. All sounder data will be included in Block 11, but not all Block 11's will contain sounder data. As the GVAR data are received by NOAA, the sounder blocks are stripped out and converted into McIDAS AREA format for final archive.

The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellites collect visible and infrared cloud imagery as well as monitoring the atmospheric, oceanographic, hydrologic, cryospheric and near-Earth space environments. The DMSP program maintains a constellation of sun-synchronous, near-polar orbiting satellites. The orbital period is 101 minutes and inclination is 99 degrees. The atmospheric and oceanographic sensors record radiances at visible, infrared and microwave wavelengths. The solar geophysical sensors measure ionospheric plasma fluxes, densities, temperatures and velocities.

These are raw radiosonde and pilot balloon observations taken from various locations at various times around the globe transmitted through the National Weather Service Telecommunications Gateway (NWSTG) in a World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Binary Universal Form for the Representation of meteorological data (BUFR) format beginning in May 2017. Variables include Temperature, humidity, Wind direction and speed, pressure, height, elapsed time and position displacement since launch, and some metadata. Vertical and temporal resolution varies.

The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) operates on board the NOAA Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) Series weather satellites providing advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth’s Western Hemisphere. The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument samples the radiance of the Earth in sixteen spectral bands using several arrays of detectors in the instrument’s focal plane.
