Addition of Sig Wave Height Percentiles for Great Lakes

Youngling Posts: 1 Join Date: 3/6/19 Recent Posts

Good morning,

 

On the marine tab in the WSUP Viewer for NBM 4.2, there is an option for PWaveHgt, though it appears this domain does not currently include the Great Lakes. We were wondering if it is possible to add the Great Lakes marine zones to this domain (deterministic wave heights/WaveHgt are currently working correctly in the Great Lakes). This can be beneficial to see the "worst-case scenario" during marginal SCA/BHS events in the swim season. 

 

Thank you,

Doug

Good morning Doug,

Thank you for your suggestion! 

At this time, the NBM does not produce a forecast for PWaveHgt over the Great Lakes. However, this suggestion has been passed to the NBM development team and they are already looking into how they could potentially support this in NBM v5.0, so long as the science is there to support it. 

Thanks again for your suggestion,
Dana
