main page content --> <p class="reg"> OPC introduced RSS feeds of its text products in March, 2012. This page is a brief summary of RSS, what it does, and how you can use it. <a href="#rsslist">It also includes a listing of the products available via RSS</a>.</p> <h4>What is RSS?</h4> <p class="reg"> The latest version of RSS (2.0) is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication (<a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html">see specifications</a>). It is a method of summarizing the latest news and information from a website in a lightweight form that can be easily read by a number of news readers or news aggregators. Additionally, modern web browsers and most email clients can interpret RSS directly without additional add-on software. The idea of RSS is to give users the ability to quickly obtain the latest updates from a web site in a headline or a news digest format. This in turn helps reduce load on the web servers during high-traffic periods.</p> <h4>What do I need to use the RSS feeds?</h4> <p class="reg"> Most modern web browsers, such as <a href="http://www.getfirefox.com">Mozilla Firefox</a> and <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-edge">Microsoft Edge</a> can read RSS feeds automatically (sometimes they refer to the feeds as "Live Bookmarks"). Alternatively, you may be able to add a feed to your favorite email client. You can also use a stand-alone feed reader or news aggregator. All these options can be set to check for new feeds on a recurring basis, generally once an hour or so.<br> </p> <p class="reg"> Once you have installed a feed reader or news aggregator, you simply add the OPC feed addresses to the list of feeds in the reader. The installation instructions for the readers will help you with that. If your browser, newsreader or aggregator uses "auto-discovery" then simply enter the main OPC address (https://ocean.weather.gov) and it will find all of the active feeds.</p> <h4>What are OPC's feed addresses?</h4> We currently offer several feeds: <div id="rsslist"><br></div> <p class="std">High Seas Forecasts</p> <a href="/xml/NFDHSFAT1.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDHSFAT1.xml">North Atlantic High Seas Forecast</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDHSFEP1.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDHSFEP1.xml">North Pacific High Seas Forecast</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDHSFEPI.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDHSFEPI.xml">East and Central North Pacific High Seas Forecast</a><br> <p class="std">Offshore Waters Forecasts</p> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFNT1.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFNT1.xml">New England Offshore Waters Forecast</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFNT2.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFNT2.xml">Mid Atlantic Offshore Waters Forecast</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFPZ5.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFPZ5.xml">Washington/Oregon Offshore Waters Forecast</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFPZ6.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFPZ6.xml">California Offshore Waters Forecast</a><br> <p class="std">NAVTEX Marine Forecasts</p> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN01.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN01.xml">NAVTEX Marine Forecast (Boston, MA)</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN02.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN02.xml">NAVTEX Marine Forecast (Portsmouth, VA)</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN03.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN03.xml">NAVTEX Marine Forecast (Charleston, SC)</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN09.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN09.xml">NAVTEX Marine Forecast (Astoria, OR)</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN08.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN08.xml">NAVTEX Marine Forecast (San Francisco, CA)</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN07.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN07.xml">NAVTEX Marine Forecast (Cambria, CA)</a><br> <p class="std">High Frequency Voice Broadcast for Offshore Waters (VOBRA)</p> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN31.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN31.xml">New England continental shelf and slope waters</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN32.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN32.xml">West Central North Atlantic continental shelf and slope waters</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN35.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN35.xml">Washington and Oregon Waters</a><br> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN36.xml"><img src="/images/xml.gif" width="13" height="13" alt="XML logo"></a> <a href="/xml/NFDOFFN36.xml">California Waters</a><br> <!-- Stopped working over summer 2015 Note: A JSON file is available at https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/175404839184922/feed?access_token=1073643459320737|FbOYoVilN_5J2EZwCHXSqKDyykw but how much use is that to customers? <p class="std">OPC's Facebook Page</p> <a href="http://www.weather.gov/nwsexit.php?url=http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=175404839184922&format=rss20"><img style="vertical-align:top" src="/images/f_logo_13px.jpg" alt="Facebook logo"></a> <a href="http://www.weather.gov/nwsexit.php?url=http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=175404839184922&format=rss20">OPC's Facebook RSS Feed</a><br> --> <br> <h4>Technical Q&A</h4> <dl> <dt class="reg"><b>Are there other NWS feeds?</b></dt> <dd class="reg"> Yes, the NWS has several other RSS feeds available.
