Sea Surface Elevation and Near-Surface Current Forecasts for Halifax Harbour

Forecast Guidance

This animation shows a two-day forecast of:

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

The near-surface (2 m) currents and sea surface elevation are produced by submodel L5. The current velocity vectors are plotted at every (a) 9th, (b) 10th, (c) 5th, (d) 7th, and (e) 3rd model grid point.
