Great Lakes Coastal Forecasting System, GLCFS (next-gen FVCOM)

Jan 1, 2022. We have retired our outdated GLERL-Donelan wave model. We will continue to display the latest operational wave forecast generated by NCEP's Wavewatch III. All other hydrodynamic model products remain unchanged - water temps, currents, water levels, ice concentration, etc. Questions:
GLCFS NOWCAST: 1/20/2022 (DOY 020) 1200 GMT - Experimental
local: 1/20/2022 7:00 EST
FVCOM model is run 2x per day, WaveWatch III model results are updated 4x per day
