The ice-ocean forecast is a research project of the Coastal Sciences Section, Ocean Sciences Division (OSD), funded by the Program for Energy Research and Development (PERD) to demonstrate the use of ocean models developed/adapted at OSD for real-time forecasting. The maps, animations and graphs displayed here are generated from three forecast models: the Canadian East Coast coupled ice-ocean model, the second generation spectral wave model and the Grand Bank tide model. Model output includes sea-ice, ocean current, surface waves, sea surface elevation, tides and surface drift. To view the model details select Forecast Models from the sidebar menu.

All forecasts start at 1200 UTC. The maximum forecast period is 48 hours. To view the forecasts select Forecasts from the sidebar menu.
