NCEP Atlantic Real-Time Ocean Forecast System

NOAA's Atlantic Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (RTOFS) is a data-assimilating nowcast-forecast system operated by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The model runs daily, producing a forecast out to 120 hours. NCEI provides access to 3D gridded data with standard depths with a 24-hour output time step, and surface data with a 1-hour output time step.
