CDIP/SIO Experimental Swell Models
| Model Type | Predictions | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Swell Nowcast | Swell-only (wave periods > 8 sec), based on CDIP's buoy observations | Last six hours, nearshore and offshore waters, 0.01 degree resolution |
| Swell Forecast | Swell (wave periods > 4 sec) based on ECMWF global forecast | Four days from present, nearshore and offshore waters, 0.01 degree resolution (All freqs modeled as swell, using offshore input sites only) |
