Description:

This note consists of five documents, assembled to provide comprehensive documentadon for the Coastal Ocean Forecasting System (COFS), running at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction: The COFS Design and Operation ofthe Model Execution Suite, by L. Lobocki, documents the data management and model execution system that provides the model with continuous atmospheric forcing. The COFS input archive, by L. Lobocki, describes the structure and operation of the input archive, which contains selected forecast fields obtained with the atmospheric forecast model. A Description ofa Three-Dimensional Coastal Ocean Circulation Model, by A.F. Blumberg and G.L. Mellor, presents the foundations of the model. The User’s Guide for a Three-Dimensional, Primitive Equation, Numerical Ocean Model, by G.L. Mellor, contains a model descripdon along with documentation of major code modules. A User’s Manualfor the Princeton Numerical Ocean Model by W.P. O’Connor contains a detailed documentation ofthe model code.
