PredictWind is very excited to release the HRRR, NAM and Arome models.

We have added another 3 high resolution forecast models, for limited areas around the world, that have higher resolution for better accuracy. High resolution models can accurately model topographical and thermal effects such as sea breezes. These new models will benefit coastal marine users, complimenting the high resolution modelling from PredictWind.

The HRRR is a NOAA real-time 3-km resolution, hourly updated, cloud-resolving, convection-allowing atmospheric model, initialized by 3km grids with 3km radar assimilation. Radar data is assimilated in the HRRR every 15 min over a 1-h period adding further detail to that provided by the hourly data assimilation from the 13km radar-enhanced Rapid Refresh.

NAM - North American Mesoscale Forecast System

NAM is one of NOAA’s major weather models, which in this case covers most of North America. NAM is a mesoscale model, which means that the numerical analysis is able to model land, and other features, at a higher resolution than in a global model, leading to improved forecast accuracy.

Model Scope: France and Coastlines - See map

Arome is a small scale numerical prediction model, operational at Meteo-France since December 2008. It was designed to improve short range forecasts of severe events such as intense Mediterranean precipitations (Cévenole events), severe storms, fog, urban heat during heat waves. This model is highly regarded by top racing navigators and beats the ECMWF forecast.

Model Scope: Most popular sailing coastlines of the world - See map

Forecast duration: 1km is 36 Hours / 8km is 7 days

PredictWind has been the market leader for accurate forecasts in the recreational market since 2008. Using the CSIRO CCAM model with 450 high resolution domains around the world, PredictWind covers most popular recreational marine users in the world.
