Available maps:

The list below gives access to maps for several models and locations. The time in the links represents the time in hours relative to the run time of the model. Run and valid times can also be found on the plots. For each region / model and forecast time three maps are available, the first present the significant wave height (Hs), the second the peak wave period (Tp) and the third the wind speed and direction (U10)

WARNING: The animations accessible here are typically 1.5 to 2 Mb in size. On a 28.8 modem, it will take more than 15 min to download such a file.

 

Output at Selected Locations:

The available output for selected locations is grouped by geographical regions. After the name of the location and its coordinates in the models, a model identifier and links to output are available. The model identifiers are nww3 for the global model, akw for the Alaskan Waters model and wna for the Western North Atlantic model. The identifiers spc, src and bul in the links refer to spectral plots, source term plots and spectral text bulletins, respectively.
