 | Narragansett Bay Local Analysis and Prediction System |
The operation and implementation of NOAA's LAPS for the Narragansett Bay region is being conducted by the National Ocean Service's Coast Survey Development Laboratory in cooperation with the National Weather Service Forecast Offices in Taunton, MA and Sterling, VA along with NOAA's Forecast System Laboratory.
The analysis portion of the NOS Narragansett Bay Local and Analysis and Prediction System (NBLAPS) generates hourly, high-resolution surface analyses of atmospheric conditions for the bay and adjacent waters. The prediction component of NBLAPS uses the National Weather Service's non-hydrostatic, workstation version of the Penn State/NCAR mesoscale weather forecast model.
These analyses and forecasts will be used as surface forcing for an experimental estuarine forecast system being developed by other partners of the Narragansett Bay NOPP Project.
Disclaimer: NBLAPS analyses and forecasts should be considered experimental and are not for navigational use. The user assumes the entire risk related to using these products. NOAA/CSDL and its partners will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages or lost profit resulting from any use or misuse of these products.
