ad Marine Forecasts and Related Information Available via E-mail National Weather Service (and other) marine forecasts are available via a variety of Government, University, Commercial and Public/Freeware systems intended to make information accessible to users such as mariners who may have an e-mail capability but do not have direct Internet access. The following is a listing of several known automated systems. Note: Any reference to any product or service does not imply any endorsement by the National Weather Service as to function or suitability for your purpose or environment. This document (https://www.weather.gov/media/marine/robots.txt) may be retrieved via e-mail as follows: -In plain text format- Send an e-mail to: NWS.FTPMail.OPS@noaa.gov Subject line: Put anything you like Body: open cd fax get robots.txt quit >>>>FTPMAIL<<<< **** IMPORTANT NOTICES **** Effective September 07, 2016, the address of the FTPMAIL service changed from ftpmail@ftpmail.nws.noaa.gov to NWS.FTPMail.OPS@noaa.gov. If you restrict incoming e-mail as a means of preventing spam, you must configure your e-mail system to allow mail from NWS.FTPMail.OPS@noaa.gov Read the help file carefully - 99% of errors using FTPMAIL are simple typo's, incorrect capitalization, failure to send in plain text format, leading or trailing spaces, or failure to set up any spam filters properly. These instructions are subject to revision....download frequently. National Weather Service marine text forecasts and radiofax charts are available via e-mail via an FTPMAIL server. Further, FTPMAIL may be used to acquire any file on the tgftp.nws.noaa.gov FTP server. The FTPMAIL server is intended to allow Internet access for mariners and other users who do not have direct access to the World Wide Web but who are equipped with an e-mail system. Turnaround is generally less than one hour, however, performance may vary widely and receipt cannot be guaranteed. To get started in using the NWS FTPMAIL service, follow these simple directions to obtain the FTPMAIL "help" file (11 KBytes), or see http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/fax/ftpmail.txt -In plain text format- Send an e-mail to: NWS.FTPMail.OPS@noaa.gov Subject line: Put anything you like Body: help >>>>NOAA/NWS Products Not Available via FTPMAIL<<<< Not all NWS forecast products are available via FTP and therefore accessible via FTPMAIL such as worldwide computer generated model forecasts which include areas beyond the area of U.S. forecasting responsibility such as the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic. (1)To retrieve Wave Watch III (https://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/product_table.shtml?-multi_1-) and other forecasts via e-mail, use one of the www-to-email systems such as SAILDOCS or OTHERS described below. Be aware computer generated products from forecast models are not reviewed by forecasters and are therefore subject to error. E.G. per the Wave Watch III webpage: URLs = https://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/WEB_P/wwww.latest_run/plots/xxxx.yyyy.zzzz.png e.g. 24hr Wind Speed and Direction Forecast for NE Atlantic = http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/WEB_P/multi_1.latest_run/plots/NE_atlantic.u10.f024h.png where wwww = "multi_1" GFS Model "multi_2" GFS Hurricane Model "glw" Great Lakes NAM Model "glwn" Great Lakes NDFD Model where xxxx = "atlantic" Atlantic Ocean "pacific" Pacific Ocean "indian_o" Indian Ocean "NE_atlantic" NE Atlantic "NW_atlantic" NW Atlantic "US_eastcoast" US East Coast "NE_pacific" NE Pacific "alaska" Alaskan Waters "aus_ind_phi" Australia-Indonesia "gmex" Gulf of Mexico "US_keywest" Key West "US_puertorico" Puerto Rico "US_wc_zm1" US West Coast Zoom 1 "US_wc_zm2" US West Coast Zoom 2 "hawaii" Hawaii "grl" Great Lakes Region "erie" Lake Erie "huron" Lake Huron "michigan" Lake Michigan "ontario" Lake Ontario "superior" Lake Superior where "yyyy" = "hs" Significant Wave Height "hs_ws" Wind Sea Wave Height "sw1" Primary Swell Wave Height "sw2" Secondary Swell Wave Height "u10" Wind Speed and Direction "tp" Peak Wave Period "tp_ws" Wind Sea Period "tp_ws1" Primary Swell Period "tp_ws2" Secondary Swell Period where "zzzz" = "h006h." or "h000" (multiples of 3 hours) for hindcasts where "zzzz" = "f006h" to "f180" for forecasts **** Important Note**** The Atlantic RTOFS model data immediately below is under an on-going operational upgrade. Use the Global RTOFS model as an alternative,(documented further below).
