MMAB marine hazard summary product

The Ocean Prediction Center used to produce a grahical summary product for marine hazards [Burroughts 1988, Burroughs 1995]. It is unclear when this was discontinued, but likely with the progress of the AWIPS era [Feit, personal communication 2008]. As models reach ever-higher resolutions in both time and space, there is again a use for a summary product, now digital, which will provide a quick look through time at areas which might be expected to have hazardous conditions. Users may then retrieve more complete model output for those hazards and areas which they are interested in.
