This website provides access to near real time global HYCOM + NCODA based ocean prediction system output. The ocean prediction system runs daily at 1800 hrs and produces a five day hindcast (analysis) and a five day forecast. These data are typically available the next day from this website. This website also provides access to several other global and regional datasets - see below. The data are in NetCDF format and can be accessed using OPeNDAP enabled clients such as Ferret, NCO etc. A Live Access Server (LAS)is also available which can be used for quick online vizualization and downloads of data in several formats (see LAS home page for more information). OPeNDAP URL's for all these datasets are available from the HYCOM THREDDS Catalog.
