West Florida Coastal Ocean Model (WFCOM) Nowcast/Forecast System



Model Description

The West Florida Coastal Ocean Model (WFCOM) is an application of unstructured grid model FVCOM in the coastal region of the eastern Gulf of Mexico. It downscales from the deep ocean, across the continental shelf and into the estuaries by nesting within the Global HYCOM with added tides, aiming at realistic simulation of the ocean circulation. The automated nowcast/forecast system updates each day providing 1-day hindcast and a 3.5-day forecast.
