Short summary
This paper describes Norkyst, the operational coastal ocean forecasting system for mainland Norway, which is now in version 3. The system produces five day forecasts of ocean currents, temperature, salinity, and sea surface height every day, and we also maintain an archive of historical data going back to 2012. We show that the outputs of Norkyst have sufficient quality so that it's intended use as a free public service supporting scientists, ocean managers, and industry is justified.
