The National Ocean Service's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) Operational Forecast System (OFS) Models map service depicts the coverage of present OFS models around the US and its territories. NOAA provides forecast guidance of oceanographic information to help mariners safely navigate their local waters. This national network of hydrodynamic models provides users with operational nowcast and forecast guidance (out to 48 hours) on parameters such as water levels, water temperature, salinity, and currents. These forecast systems are implemented in critical ports, harbors, estuaries, Great Lakes and coastal waters of the United States, and form a national backbone of real-time data, tidal predictions, data management and operational modeling. Please refer to the specific layer description for more information or visit https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/

Raw data have not been subjected to the National Ocean Service's quality control or quality assurance procedures and do not meet the criteria and standards of official National Ocean Service data. They are released for limited public use as preliminary data to be used only with appropriate caution.
