Operational Forecasts — Ocean Motion Analytics

Our cloud-hosted regional models run on an operational schedule, with redundancy built in for reliable delivery. Model skill is assessed against in-situ and satellite observations, with reports published as they ship.

Shaping model outputs into decisions.

The regional model is only the starting point. We shape its output into a product built around the decision being made — the right variables, at the right location, on a bespoke dashboard designed around the question the client is answering. Each forecast carries confidence bands that reflect the underlying uncertainty, so decisions can be made with a clear sense of how much to trust the outlook.

Example 01

An example port.

Who this is for: Port operators planning vessel access and berth allocation, where low-water events take a berth out of service.
What the client cares about: Whether each planned operation has enough water at the berth. Low-water events — non-tidal residuals stacked on top of the predicted tide — are what tighten schedules and force re-allocation.
What we build: A site-specific water level forecast at the berth, updated daily. Total water level and the non-tidal residual are forecast separately, each with confidence bands — so an operator sees not just the predicted low water but how much trust to put in it. Wave height at the berth carries the same threshold treatment.

Daily water level and wave forecast at a client-chosen berth, with operability thresholds shown against the forecast.

Example 02

An example coastal intake.

Who this is for: Any operation drawing seawater from a coastal intake — desalination plants, power-station cooling water, land-based aquaculture (RAS), coastal industrial intakes.
What the client cares about: Intake water quality, screen and filter management, pre-treatment planning, protecting downstream processes from sediment, salinity, and temperature events.
What we build: A site-specific water quality forecast at the intake — temperature, salinity, and turbidity, daily, with per-variable alert thresholds set by the operator.

Daily water quality forecast at a coastal intake — operators see temperature, salinity, and turbidity events coming before they reach the screens.
