Re: New nowCOAST Version
We anticipate that a new version of nowCOAST will be implemented in mid or
late September, 2018. An exact date has not been set.
The new nowCOAST version (V5.2) will feature the following changes:
- New map service to provide maps of oceanographic forecast guidance
from the NOS 3-D operational forecast system for the Gulf of Maine (GoMOFS)
- New map service to provide maps of NOS forecast guidance of the marine
pathogen, Vibrio Vulnificus (Vv) for the Chesapeake Bay
- Incorporation of water level forecast guidance from NOS Extratropical
Surge and Tide Operational Forecast System (ESTOFS) for Micronesia into the
existing ESTOFS map service
- Ability to display NHC Potential Storm Surge Flooding Maps for
multiple tropical cyclones at the same time
- Incorporation of NWS/CPHC’s new Best Track information for tropical
cyclones over the Central Pacific Ocean into the existing tropical cyclone
track and intensity forecasts map service
- Addition of a new data layer for NWS/NHC’s initial wind radii for
tropical cyclones over the Atlantic and Eastern North Pacific Oceans into
the tropical cyclone track and intensity forecasts map service
- Addition of three new data layers for NWS Snow Squall Warning, Dust
Storm Warning, and Dust Storm Advisory into the short-duration hazards map
service
- Discontinuation of legacy time-offset or forecast projection based map
services for NOS 3-D operational oceanographic forecast systems and
NWS/NCEP Global Real-Time Ocean Forecast System
- Addition of Canada Marine Zones as a new layer in the
forecast_meteoceanhydro_pts_zones_geolinks
map service depicting Canada’s marine zone boundaries along with hyperlinks
to the corresponding marine text forecast webpages
- Modification of the mapoverlays_admin_fedgov map service to include
the latest National Airspace System (NAS) Air Route Traffic Control Center
(ARTCC) High and Low boundaries as separate layers
- Discontinuation and removal of the Wind Profilers geo-referenced
hyperlinks layer from the obs_meteoceanhydro_remote_pts_areas_geolinks map
service
- Update geo-referenced hyperlinks to observations and forecasts to
correct URLs or remove dead links
A separate status message will be sent out this week to provide detailed
information on the actions that users of nowCOAST's map services may have
to take when the new version is released.
