Newport to Bermuda Race
Newport to Bermuda Race 2010
Hi Res Currents, SST, Sea Surface Height, Analyses and Forecasts. All in GRIB - and an Expert analysis.
Any previous competitor in this race knows how vital it is to have accurate information about the Gulf Stream and the positions of the major warm and cold core eddies.
With the increasing use of routeing software such as Expedition, Deckman, Maxsea and Adrena it has become increasingly important to have this information in GRIB format.
Tidetech is pleased to be able to offer high resolution analyses and forecasts in GRIB format from US and European official sources for the 2010 Newport to Bermuda Race.
- US National Centre for Environmantal Prediction 3nm res Analysis and 4 day Forecast. Updated daily
- UK National Centre for Ocean Forecasting 3nm res Analysis and 4 day Forecast. Updated daily
- GHRSST (Global High Resolution Dea Surface Temperature) 3nm resolution gap Free data- updated daily
- AVHRR (Advanced very High Resolution Radiometer) 0.5nm. Updated 4 times daily, subject to cloud cover
The data will also be availble in special reduced size format for downloading offshore and custom files downloadable with Expedition.
In addition, we will be offering a comprehensive pre-race written analysis from Dr Roger Proctor (Oceanographer to the UK Olympic Sailing Team).This will be available 1 week before the race and on the day before the start. See here for our Sydney to Hobart 2009 analysis.
