The Northeast Coastal Ocean Forecast System (NECOFS) is an integrated atmosphere-ocean model forecast system designed for the northeast US coastal region covering a computational domain from the south of Long-Island Sound to the north of the Nova Scotian Shelf. 

The system includes: 

  1. The mesoscale meteorological model WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting model); 
  2. The unstructured grid Finite-Volume Community Ocean Model and Surface WAVE model with configuration for the Gulf of Maine/Georges Bank /New England Shelf (FVCOM-GOM and FVCOM-SWAVE); 
  3. The Massachusetts Coastal Waters domain FVCOM (Mass-Coastal FVCOM); 
  4. Fully wave-current coupled coastal inundation model systems for Scituate Harbor and Boston Harbor, MA, and Hamption-Seabrook Estuary, NH.
