Weather- and oceanic consultancy- and information services
We provide the full range of services and information requirements during each phase of the project. Through our network of partners we’re always able to provide the service that your poject needs. Whether you need ad-hoc advice (be welcome to drink a cup of coffee with us!) or looking for a long-term advisory traject, we are your partner.
Data and information services
Accurate and reliable data are the basis of every metocean- and numerical model study or advice. At MetOcean Consult, we have developed an in-house database that contains validated meteorological- and oceanographic observation and hindcast data with global coverage at various resolutions. The hindcast database contains both publicly available data as well as data produced with our own hindcast models.
Metocean studies
MetOcean Consult has extensive expertise in setting up, running and validating metocean models (e.g. WAVEWATCH-III). We use models at different scales – from global to local – to deliver accurate information. Our models generate validated historical simulation data (hindcasts) that provide a reliable representation of the metocean climate and boundary conditions for detailed modelling studies.
Numerical modelling
Supported by our metocean and hindcast studies which typically cover large basins providing detailed boundary conditions to smaller domains, we perform local wave- and flow modelling at high definition grids around the site of interest. Doing so, we make use of spectral models (SWAN), time domain (non-hydrostatic and Boussinesq) models (SWASH, MIKE-BW) and flow models (DFLOW-FM, MIKE21-FM).
Forecast services
MetOcean Consult provides 24/7 meteorological, wave, current and water level forecast information to support offshore and coastal maritime operations worldwide. Forecast information is provided four times per day.
