Problems with our products
If you are having a problem with our products not being current please verify that your "cache"
is not causing the problem (further
information).
Another potential problem is with printing our products our products. The B/W gif charts are too large for
printing. If you need to print a chart the TIFF format may be used (TIFF Viewer).
A common problem with the loops available on our web site it that you must ensure Java is enabled in your browser.
If you are seeing a big 'X' or an error message such as'Applet AniS...' instead of a loop then it is
likely that Java has not been enabled or installed (test whether Java is enabled).
Receiving Our Products through E-mail
Radiofacsimile Broadcast Schedules For Our Products
Ships at sea receive analysis and forecast graphical products issued by our office. The products are transmitted by the U.S.C.G. through High Frequency (HF) single side band (SSB) shortwave
signals which are decoded by Weather FAX receivers aboard vessels at sea.

Outline of Ocean Prediction Center Products
- Marine Weather
The analysis and forecast of marine weather are created for several areas. The offshore products
includes the coastal and offshore waters close to the mainland of the U.S.A. and
the High Seas for areas well offshore and the offshore areas north of roughly 30N in the North
Atlantic and North Pacific.
- Ocean Products
In addition ocean analysis and forecast products cover a larger areal
extent than the marine weather. The products available include Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) and currents over much of the
the Atlantic and Pacific basins.
Other National Weather Service Offices that provide similar
"marine weather" products as the Ocean Prediction Center include:
- National Hurricane Center
- National Weather Service Honolulu Forecast Office

Unified Surface Analysis
The Unified Surface Analysis sphere includes the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, and includes North and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia
continents by combining weather analyses from the National Weather Service Offices of
the Ocean Prediction Center (OPC), Hydrometeorlogical Prediction Center (HPC),
National Hurricane Center (NHC), and the Honolulu Forecast Office (HFO).

Coastal Guidance
Extratropical Storm Surge model produces numerical storm surge guidance for
extratropical weather systems out to day 4 along the United States coastline. The model uses
real time output of wind and pressure from the NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS).
Ocean Products
Composite analysis images of satellite-derived sea surface
temperatures (SST) and forecast SST & currents which includes the Atlantic
and Pacific.
Archived Versions Of Products
Graphics
- Marine weather loops are available for the past 14 days.

Experimental Products
The experimental products are not yet operational, but are planned to be
operational in the future.
Satellite Data
Satellite imagery for oceanic areas that encompass the Ocean
Prediction Center areas of responsibility and include outside regions.
Quality Control Of Marine Observations
Real-time interactive quality control of worldwide surface marine
meteorological data is performed by meteorologist at our office
prior to being assimilated into numerical model guidance.
