Notes:

"The NOAA Operational Model Archive and Distribution System (NOMADS), provides distributed, web-service access for real-time and retrospective, format-independent climate and weather model data and related datasets. ... This site provides retrospective access to long timeseries of output from mature ocean modeling and prediction systems, including models from NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) and the U.S. Navy"--Title screen.

"NOAA NCDDC, with partners including National Weather Service National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the Northern Gulf Institute, has created ... OceanNOMADS"--Title screen.

Geographic coverage includes the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.

"Users who require real-time access are directed to high-availability servers at NCEP for NCOM and RTOFS data sets"--Title screen.
