"The National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed an integrated and automated system for providing model based predictions of the water levels and currents in New York Harbor and surrounding waters (New York and New Jersey Experimental Forecast Model System). Planning is underway for this system to become fully operational, and provide official forecast guidance products to the Nation's maritime users. The purpose of this document is to provide the necessary instructions and details to implement this operational status in an efficient and orderly manner. For completeness, brief overviews of the project background, system and objectives are also provided (Section 1). The methodology needed to implement this project, including the identification of personnel and specific tasks is detailed in Section 2 and Appendix A"--Introduction.
