Ocean Model Analysis and Prediction System (OceanMAPS) Daily Forecasts

Updated: 2025-08-04

The Ocean Model analysis and Predictions System (OceanMAPS) is a short-range, near-global, eddy-resolving (10 km) ocean forecast system developed at the Bureau of Meteorology. OceanMAPS runs daily, producing 7-day forecasts of 3D prognostic fields of Ocean currents, temperature, salinity and sea level anomalies. Variables include daily-mean 7-day forecasts of sea water potential temperature (temp), sea water salinity (salt), sea level (eta_t), sea water x velocity (u) and sea water y velocity (v)
