All DRP products are available for immediate processing   and   transmission   from   FNMOC   via AUTODIN, NIPRNET/SIPRNET, and facsimile, 24 hours a day. We will explain the use of each DRP product  in  the  following  text. SEARCH AND RESCUE PRODUCT (SAR) The Search and Rescue (SAR) product is designed for open-ocean SAR situations and provides computer- generated historical (60 hour) and forecast (72 hour) outputs for probable error of position and search radius. SAR   provides   target   location   maps   and   search recommendations.  It  is  available  to  all  SAR coordinators for operational and training missions. FNMOC requires the following input from each SAR request: type of object, time object began to drift, latitude and longitude where object began to drift, and the  estimated  navigational  error  of  the  object’s  position. Average  product  turnaround  time  is  less  than  30 minutes from time of receipt to time of transmit at FNMOC. BATHYTHERMOGRAPH  DATA  EXTRACT (BTXT) The  Bathythermograph  Data  Extract  (BTXT) product  provides  bathy  observations  extracted  from FNMOC synoptic data bases. The output consists of an alphanumeric product in the JJYY format in English or Metric units as desired. ENVIRONMENTAL DATA LINES (ENVR) The Environmental Data Lines (ENVR) product is a concise alphanumeric product that is used as input to onboard acoustic prediction systems. It provides a BT/SVP  profile  for  a  specific  location,  based  on historical data. A BT or SVP observation may be provided as input by the user. This data is then blended with historical data to complete the profile from the surface to the ocean bottom. ENVR also provides the following  information: Depth required/depth excess (DRX) Temperature  gradient  below  sonic  layer  depth Low  frequency/high  frequency  bottom  loss Significant  wave  height Wind  speed Bottom  depth Sonic  layer  depth GENERAL  ENVIRONMENTAL  MESSAGE (GEM) The  General  Environmental  Message  (GEM) product provides the user with analyzed (synoptic) or forecast  environmental  data  for  specified  locations  or grid points (latitude/longitude) within an area. GEM data  includes  such  products  as  pressure  surface  heights, wind direction and speed, altimeter settings, ditch headings, wave direction, wave period and height, freezing level data, and sea surface temperatures. POINT DATA EXTRACT (PNTDT) Point Data Extract (PNTDT) provides selected environmental data extracted from METOC model fields. Output for various parameters include marine wind  speed,  marine  wind  direction,  sea  surface temperature, significant wave height, primary and secondary  wave  period,  and  primary  and  secondary wave  direction. REFRACTIVE INFORMATION BY STATION (RIBS) The Refractive Information by Station (RIBS) product  provides  an  analysis  of  upper  air  soundings from requested upper air reporting stations. RIBS output  provides  pressure,  temperature,  dew  point depression, M unit, gradient of M per 1,000 feet, and height and type of refraction.   Users may choose up to 25 stations per request. RIBS data can be input into JOTS, TESS or IMOSS to extract on-site refractive products. SPOUT OUTPUT (SPOUT) Spout Output (SPOUT) provides surface land, surface  ship,  radiosonde,  pilot  balloon,  aircraft,  satellite infrared   spectrometer,   and/or   hourly   report observations extracted from the FNMOC data base in an easy-to-read format. Spout observations may be requested for a specific date and time and/or for a specific set of hours. Observation reports up to 72 hours prior to the current Date-Time Group (DTG) can be obtained. OCEAN MODEL TEMPERATURE PROFILES (JJPRO) The Ocean Model Temperature Profiles (JJPRO) was developed to provide computer-generated ocean analysis  temperature  profiles  extracted  from  global 2-20
