Met Office Global Wave model on a 2-year rolling archive

The Met Office runs global wave forecast models to support marine safety and operational decision making. Met Office configurations are developed to be run using the community wave model WAVEWATCH IIITM. The global wave configuration is designed to generate accurate forecasts for open waters of the world’s oceans and larger seas. The Met Office wave models are forced using wind data from the Met Office Global Atmospheric Hi-Res Model. The global wave model is run to provide a five day outlook for wave characteristics defining height, period and direction of waves within a given sea-state. The model uses a refined grid system in...

Data coverage

The Met Office runs global wave forecast models to support marine safety and operational decision making. Met Office configurations are developed to be run using the community wave model WAVEWATCH IIITM. The global wave configuration is designed to generate accurate forecasts for open waters of the world’s oceans and larger seas. The Met Office wave models are forced using wind data from the Met Office Global Atmospheric Hi-Res Model. The global wave model is run to provide a five day outlook for wave characteristics defining height, period and direction of waves within a given sea-state. The model uses a refined grid system in order to better represent fetch in constrained sea areas and blocking effects of islands and headlands. Please note this is a public beta and therefore a non-operational service.

(EXPERIMENTAL) NOAA FourCastNet Global Forecast System (FourCastNetGFS) (EXPERIMENTAL)

The FourCastNet Global Forecast System (FourCastNetGFS) is an experimental system set up by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) to produce medium range global forecasts. The model runs on a 0.25 degree latitude-longitude grid (about 28 km) and 13 pressure levels. The model produces forecasts 4 times a day at 00Z, 06Z, 12Z and 18Z cycles. Major atmospheric and surface fields including temperature, wind components, geopotential height, relative humidity and 2 meter temperature and 10 meter winds are available. The products are 6 hourly forecasts up to 10 days. The data format is GRIB2. The FourCastNetGFS...

10m Annual Land Use Land Cover (9-class)

This dataset, produced by Impact Observatory, Microsoft, and Esri, displays a global map of land use and land cover (LULC) derived from ESA Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 meter resolution for the years 2017 - 2024. Each map is a composite of LULC predictions for 9 classes throughout the year in order to generate a representative snapshot of each year. This dataset was generated by Impact Observatory, which used billions of human-labeled pixels (curated by the National Geographic Society) to train a deep learning model for land classification. Each global map was produced by applying this model to the Sentinel-2 annual scene...
