NOS-OFS Workflow

Unified operational workflow for NOAA's ocean forecast systems.

Configuration

YAML configs in parm/systems/ with inheritance from parm/base/:

# parm/systems/secofs.yaml
_base: schism
grid:
  domain: {lon_min: -88, lon_max: -63, lat_min: 17, lat_max: 40}
forcing:
  atmospheric: {primary: GFS, secondary: HRRR, met_num: 2}
  river: {primary: nwm}
  ocean: {primary: rtofs}
model:
  run: {nowcast_hours: 6, forecast_hours: 48}
