Gulf of Maine OFS Wind Forecast Guidance
Notice: You are entering a developmental GoMOFS. The GoMFS outputs including graphics are currently
under evaluation. Please
do not attempt to use the outputs operationally for naviagation and/or recreation purposes.
All model nowcast and forecast information is based on a hydrodynamic model and should be considered as computer-generated nowcast and forecast guidance.
Wind Forecast Guidance
This wind animation depicts forecasted hourly surface (33 ft [10m] above the water) winds for the
next 48 hours. The hourly wind fields were created by spatially and temporally interpolating wind forecasts
from the latest run of the National Weather Service's operational North American Mesoscale (NAM) weather
forecast model. The original spatial and temporal resolutions of the NAM wind forecast were 4 km and 3 hours,
respectively. These interpolated wind fields were used by GOMOFS to generate oceanographic forecast guidance.
