Wave/wind model forecast vs. buoy data
On-line validation, deterministic forecasts
(this page only in English)
Quick-and-dirty display of
wave model output and buoy data - 4 days back in time, 5 days ahead. No data quality check.
All forecasts for a given station and wave parameter
(5 days, 4 times a day) are merged onto the same plot
Significant wave height
Wind speed
Dominant wave period
Mean wave period
Mean wave direction
Wind direction
markers: observations
lines: forecasts, issued at 6 hour intervals
solid black line: hindcast+most recent forecast
off-colour graph: no observations at present
