Description:
The RTOFS Global Ocean Model is based on an eddy resolving 1/12 degree global HYCOM (HYbrid Coordinates Ocean Model) and is part of a larger national backbone capability of ocean modeling at NOAA/NWS in a strong partnership with US Navy. Visit the model website to learn more about RTOFS.

The global ocean forecast system runs once a day and produces 2-day nowcasts and 6-day forecasts using the daily initialization fields produced at NAVOCEANO using NCODA.
