Atlantic/US East Coast Scraped Real-Time Ocean Forecast System

The global operational Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (Global RTOFS) at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction is based on an eddy resolving 1/12° global HYCOM (HYbrid Coordinates Ocean Model) and is part of a larger national baone capability of ocean modeling at the National Weather Service in a strong partnership with the US Navy. The model is run once a day, completing at about 1700Z. Each run starts with a 24 hr hindcast and produces ocean surface forecasts every hour and full volume forecasts every 6 hours out to 192 hours. This dataset contains the first 4 full volume forecasts for each day's model run for the US East Coast region.
