Published by Office of Coast Survey | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 04:22 AM | Dataset Last Updated: January 01, 2020 at 12:00 AM
STOFS-2D-Global is a two-dimensional depth averaged global component based on the ADvanced CIRCulation (ADCIRC) model core. STOFS-2D-Global runs four times daily producing numerical storm surge and tide model forecast guidance globally out to 180 hours. The model is forced by real time output of winds and pressure from the NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS). The domain of the operational STOFS-2D-Global forecast guidance covers the entire globe, including the floodplain of the coastal U.S., the Caribbean area surrounding Puerto Rico, and Alaska. STOFS-2D-Global is the NOAA source for International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-104 water level forecast guidance for marine navigation.
