SE.OF Oceanographic Forecasting Model, HIROMB BS01 — Historical Analysis Data
Description
DESCRIPTION
The dataset contains historical analysis data from the HIROMB forecast model. This means that only data for the first time step have been selected at the respective time point. Forecast data not included.
HIROMB BS01 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 meteorological forecast model HIRLAM (C11) and river data from the HBV model are used as input data. Forecasts are made for, among other things, temperature, salinity, currents, water level and ice.
The area covered by HIROMB BS01 is the entire Baltic Sea and the west coast of Sweden (Kattegatt and Skagerrak). The western border is just west of Jutland’s northern tip.
COORDINATES
The coordinates of the area are given by the corners:
southwest 53.7N, 9.38 E
northwest 65.9N, 9.38 E
northeast 65.9N, 30.23 E
southeast 53.7N, 39.23 E
The grid panes are 1 nautical mile (approx. 2*2 km)
USE
At SMHI, data from HIROMB is used for water alerts, ice forecasting, investigations for offshore construction and insurance matters. HIROMB data is also used as input to oil spill modelling in SeatrackWeb.
External users use HIROMB as input to their own oceanographic models via the international HIROMB collaboration. The Swedish Armed Forces, the Rescue Agency, the weather services in the UK, Denmark and Norway, as well as some municipalities and nuclear power plants use HIROMB data.
FORMAT
Data is delivered in GRIB format. Information that facilitates use can be found at:
