Forecast Guidance

This animation shows a two-day forecast of:

  • Depth-Averaged Currents (black arrows)
  • Sea Surface Elevation (red/blue contours for positive/negative values with a contour interval of 5 cm)

The depth-averaged currents and sea surface elevation are produced by submodel L1. The current velocity vectors are plotted at every 9th model grid point.

DalCoast-HFX

The Dalhousie Coastal Ocean Forecast System (DalCoast-HFX) is a prototype real-time operational system for predicting physical oceanographic conditions over the eastern Canadian seaboard, with a focus on Halifax Harbour.
