Regional Hydrodynamic Model Outputs of the NOAA Lake Erie Operational Forecast System (LEOFS)

Metadata Updated: August 12, 2023

NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) collaborated with the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) in developing and transitioning the new generation of Lake Erie Operational Forecast System (LEOFS) to operations, to provide higher-resolution forecast guidance of water level, currents and water temperature. The upgraded LEOFS uses the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) as its core ocean circulation model and has extended the forecast horizon to 120 hours. LEOFS runs four times per day with 6-hour nowcast and 120-hour forecast for each cycle on the NCEP's Weather Climate Operational Supercomputer (WCOSS).
