• Description:
  The National Ocean Service (NOS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has developed a three-dimensional hydrodynamic ocean model-based Cook Inlet Operational Forecast System (CIOFS) for Cook Inlet region of Alaska. The primary purpose of this model is to provide navigational mariners with water surface elevation (water level) and current forecast guidance, but in addition, it also generates temperature and salinity predictions which could be used to support oil spill, marine environment, ecological and ecosystem forecasting in the region.
