This is an experimental web portal for graphic visualization of the operational and experimental results from the storm surge and tide forecast systems being developed and tested by the National Ocean Service.

ESTOFS model output is NOT a total water level guidance. Actual water levels can be significantly higher than forecast due to waves, steric effect and other components not presently included in the ESTOFS.

Please check with your regional National Weather Service forecast office for the official water level forecast.

ESTOFS-GLOBAL experimental Latest Produced Forecast Cycle:

This run is subject to resource availability. We only produce t00z cycle for now.

Mesh: HSOFS-Atl + ESTOFS-Mic + 1.5+ km global mesh
Forcing: GFS 10-m winds, MSLP, ice cover @55 km
8 tidal components, self-attraction & loading, internal tides.
Coupling: RTOFS.

Maximal storm tide (storm surge + astronomical tide) as computed by the model over
168 hours forecast cycle.
Meters MSL.

This graphics does NOT reflect a total water level guidance, which can be much higher.

For a total water level guidance, please consult Weather Service.
