</span>Fourteen legacy time-offsets (projection hour) map services providing
maps of forecast guidance from NOS’ 3-d oceanographic forecast modeling systems
and also NWS/NCEP Global Real-Time Ocean Forecast System (GRTOFS) will be
decommissioned.<span> </span>These map services,
designed to mimic the previous version of nowCOAST’s legacy map service
configuration, were created when nowCOAST became operational on the NOAA IDP
infrastructure in 2015 in order to provide time for users to transition to the corresponding
time-enabled map service for each of these NOS and NWS forecast systems.<span> </span>Users can still use OGC WMS or GeoServices
REST protocols to obtain the same maps from the time-enabled map services;
instead of specifying a target layer for each forecast to be viewed, users must
instead provide both a target layer identifier and a desired time value in
their requests.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Users need to modify their applications before mid to late September
to use corresponding time-enabled map services (e.g.
guidance_model_coastalocean_dbofs_time).<span>
