The Texas-Louisiana regional ocean forecast system (TXLA ROFS) provides near-real time ocean forecast data to various stakeholders for different purposes, but primarily for oil spill responses. TXLA ROFS is forced by NOAA's GFS and Global HYCOM provides open boundary conditions. It includes streamflow of 9 rivers across Texas and Louisiana including the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers to accurately represent the plume from the rivers. Tides are not included.
