Ocean forecasting map

Ocean forecasting is a collaborative venture. We engage with forecast users, data providers, algorithm developers, and other groups to build a community around each forecasting project.

We are always open to new forecasting projects or ideas, and we encourage you to reach out. Our team can be reached at nrecord@bigelow.org
