Description:"The National Marine Verification Program (NMVP) is a component of the National Verification Program (NVP) of the National Weather Service (NWS). The NMVP was initiated about 1982 with a final report issued by the National Verification Committee (NVC) in early 1984. The objective of the NMVP is to verify warnings and forecasts from Weather Service Forecast Offices (WSFO) having marine responsibilities and to compile statistics to aid in evaluating the performance of NWS marine services. The forecasts are for specific buoy and Coastal Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) locations whose observations are representative of the conditions within each WSFO's area of responsibility. The forecasts are sent to the National Meteorological Center (NMC) where they are matched wit interpolated data from various guidance products and buoy/C-MAN observations"--Introduction, paragraph 1.
