Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS)

Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS)

The Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) provides numerical guidance and products in support of a wide range of Navy oceanographic and atmospheric requirements. The forecast model component of NOGAPS is the heart of the system and represents a multiyear development effort by the scientists of the Naval Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research Laboratory's Atmospheric Directorate. Six-hourly data are available in GRIB1 format on regularly-spaced latitude-longitude grids at 1-degree and one-half-degree resolutions. Vertical resolution varies from 18 to 28 pressure levels, 34 sea level depths, the surface, and other various levels. Both atmospheric and ocean model variables are available.
