summary: Best time series, taking the data from the most recent run available. The data presented here have already been processed to produce hindcast runs. Only the last run includes the complete 72-hour forecast. For historical forecast runs, please contact the CARICOOS DMAC Coordinator, Edward L. Cruz, at edward.cruz1@upr.edu.
summary: The CARICOOS Coastal Circulation Model is a beta (experimental) version high-resolution implementation of the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (Chen et al., 2003). The model provides forecasts for 72 hours and is run once per day. The model is forced by tides, atmospheric forcing (CARICOOS WRF) and large-scale currents (obtained from the HYCOM model) in order to provide predictions of coastal circulation in the nearshore waters of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
funding: The Caribbean Coastal Ocean Observing System (CARICOOS), funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is a Regional Association within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS).
