Weather Forecast

Accurate, reliable and customisable marine weather forecasts.

 

MetOcean Solutions’ in-house state-of-the-art oceanographic and atmospheric forecast models provide detailed, reliable weather information for anywhere.

Our customised models allow us to accurately forecast conditions at scales ranging from global to hyper-local (e.g. a berth within a port). Our team of expert scientists have years of experience providing offshore and coastal forecasts for locations all over the world. Products include customised vessel route and vessel motion forecasts, as well as trajectory forecasts for use in search and rescue or pollutant spill operations.

The MetOcean Solutions Forecast System

Built on a suite of sophisticated oceanographic and atmospheric forecast models, most guidance is run in-house allowing increased resolution, nesting and ensemble forecasting to be implemented as required.

The result is a robust global service that can be rapidly customised to suit individual offshore project requirements. Automated forecast updates are provided 4 times daily and delivered via email, API, FTP or the MOV website. Guidance is presented as maps, table and graphs over the 7-14 day forecast horizon.
