Activities
The Ocean Prediction Center (OPC) provides timely and accurate marine weather warnings and forecasts to protect life and property at sea, while enhancing maritime weather readiness and the economic viability of the maritime community. OPC forecasters continuously monitor weather over the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans and issue warnings and forecasts out to five days. On average, OPC issues 12,700 warnings each year. This includes wind warnings (gale - storm - hurricane force), heavy freezing spray warnings, and ashfall advisories.
OPC is an integral component of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), located at the National Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP) in College Park, Maryland.
