Ocean Wave Model Ensemble 15-day forecast
Products based on an ensemble of forecasts providing an estimate of the reliability of a single forecast.
The purchase of the "Basic Set" +72, +96, +120, +144, +168 hrs is a mandatory prerequisite for the purchase of time steps in the range 12 to 66 hours.
The following sub-sets are available from the ENS-WAM:
Ocean Wave Model high resolution 15-day Forecast
HRES-WAM (High RESolution WAve Model) is coupled to the atmospheric model (HRES) and it is a Direct model output Products offers "High Frequency products":
- 4 forecast runs per day (00/06/12/18) (see dissemination schedule for details)
- Hourly steps to step 90 for all four runs
The model computes between the latitudes -78 and 90, the output grid is artificially extended to -90.
Atmospheric model Ensemble 15-day forecast
Ensemble (ENS) of forecasts providing an estimate of the reliability of a single forecast.
ENS offers "High Frequency products" until step 144:
- 4 daily runs: 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC
- hourly until step 90
- 3-hourly from 93 to 144
Most Post-processed Products are not available at 06/18 runs or in hourly steps. An exception are Tropical Cycle tracks (set III-viii) which is available for all daily runs: 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC.
