Description:The Lakes Michigan and Huron Operational Forecast System (LMHOFS), with the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM) as its hydrodynamic core, has been implemented to provide users with nowcasts (analyses of near present) and forecast guidance of the three-dimensional (3-D) physical conditions of Lakes Michigan and Huron, including surface water levels and 3-D water currents and water temperature, out to 120 hours. By combining Lakes Michigan and Huron into one model grid and invoking advanced model schemes and algorithms, LMHOFS is expected to provide more accurate predictions than the previous National Ocean Service (NOS) Lake Michigan OFS (LMOFS) and Lake Huron OFS (LHOFS), which had separate model domains based on the Princeton Ocean Model (POM).
