Daily Forecast operative for Mediterranean, Seas around Italy and Northern Tyrrhenian
MeteOcean group at DICCA publishes daily 120 hours forecasts for the Mediterranean Basin, for the Seas around Italy and for the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea.
The WavewatchIII model is operational at DICCA, University of Genoa, with a 10km grid resolution over the whole Mediterranean basin. A nested grid of 2km resolution covers the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea and the Ligurian Sea. Wind forcing is obtained by means of WRF runs with 10 km grid resolution for the whole Mediterranean basin and with 3.3 km grid resolution for the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea. WRF is initialized with the global model NCEP-GFS at 0.5° resolution.
WaveWatchIII model (2009) has been developed by the National Weather Service (NWS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

120 hours wave forecasts for the Mediterranean Basin, the Seas around Italy and the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea are published daily. Forecasts are performed on a gridsize of 10x10km for the Mediterranean Basin and on a gridsize of 2x2km for the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea.
Stream live webcams have been recollected around the Italian coast to allow the user to monitor real-time sea conditions.
We can provide customized wave forecast for different needs (commercial and leisure navigation, ships routing, weather surveillance, broadcasting of alerts).
MeteOcean group at DICCA has developed an hindcast analysis for the period 1979-2016 for the whole Mediterranean basin with a resolution of 0.1°. The model chain is forced with the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) data at 0.5° resolution. The same operational model employed for the forecast has been employed for the hindcast analysis. Validation of the model has been extensively performed (see publication). Output can be provided hourly and can be requested for single points or zonal maps.
