eg what should be here for Portsmouth
http://www.ntslf.org/storm-surges/la...ort=Portsmouth
As the bathymetric part of the model processed at the NOC, Southampton
is pretty fixed, then relevant to a weather thread, as the main initial
conditions feed must be the meteorology.
Does anyone know if the NOC or EA has to pay the MetO for a feed of
data, or whether a free Metar/Taf feed?
Then if someone fails to pay the bill or quibbles , then the NTSLF surge
predictor craps out, 2 or 3 times a year.
The National tide-gauge sytem also craps out at times, but only for one
tide cycle or so, not for days on end. With all the xmas nonsense , the
NTSLF is likely to be out for a week or more. At least very low
astronimic tides for this period of the end of December.
