Oceanographic observations and model data — seawater level real-time (NEMO-Nordic)

DESCRIPTION The dataset contains forecast data for seawater levels from the forecast model NEMO-Nordic NSBS01. Data for the first six time steps of each forecast run have been selected. Model data are offset corrected against observations to start from mean water level as zero reference. The model uses the geoid as a zero reference. Data are available from a number of specified stations along with observations of seawater levels. The observations are delivered in separate files. Nemo-Nordic is an oceanographic forecasting model that describes the state of the sea for a number of physical parameters. Every 6 hours a 60-hour forecast is run based on data assimilation of available observations. The inputs are the meteorological forecast model Arome and the ECMWF forecast model as well as river data from the hydrological model HYPE. Forecasts are made for, among other things, temperature, salinity, currents, water level and ice. The area covered by NEMO-Nordic is the entire Baltic Sea, the west coast of Sweden (Kattegat and Skagerrak) North Sea and the English Channel. DELIVERY: In this service you can download files with real-time data via web service at delivery fee. The files shall be saved before further use. Send an e-mail to [email protected] for order. COORDINATES The coordinates of the area are given by the corners: south-west lazy: 48.5, lon: —4.1 north-west lazy: 65.9, lon: —4.1 northeast lazy: 65.9, lon: 30.2 south-east lazy: 48.5, lon: 30.2 The grid panes are 1 nautical mile (approx. 2*2 km). Please note that the area north of the North Sea (approximately 59.3 degrees) is not included in the grid. USE SMHI uses data from NEMO-Nordic for water level warnings, ice forecasting and investigations. Nemo-Nordic data is also used as input to other models, an example is the oil spill model SeatrackWeb. External users use NEMO-Nordic as input to their own oceanographic models via the international BOOS collaboration. The Armed Forces and a couple of municipalities also use NEMO-Nordic data.
