North Atlantic 500mb Forecast We plan on getting underway this weekend for Kinsale, Ireland. It’s a tiny bit early in the season but we have what looks to be a blocking high developing in the North Atlantic which will stall the steady stream of low-pressure systems that we’ve been watc...
Hurricane Ernesto continues to bring "life-threatening" conditions to East Coast Ernesto regained hurricane strength on Sunday, forecasters said, and will continue to bring "life-threatening surf and rip current conditions" to the U.S. East Coast. ...
To analyse and predict the state of the ocean the UK Met Office has developed the Forecast Ocean Atmosphere Model (FOAM). At the heart of FOAM is an ocean circulation model, of the same basic formulation as that used by the Hadley Centre at the UK Met Office to predict climate change. ...
This page focuses mostly on ocean conditions, such as marine weather, SSTs, tidal data, buoy data, ship reports and waves. Additional satellite-derived data is available on our Wind Data page (upper level and surface winds) and our Satellite Data page (visible and infrared satellite imagery)....
While there are no coastal watches or warnings in effect for either storm, the waves from Issac could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions in the Azores, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said Friday. The storms are churning in the open ocean afterHurricane Helen...
The basis for his forecast is above average sea surface temperatures that fuel hurricanes and the impending end to the El Nino weather pattern, which carries high winds that can break up storms in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. (Reporting by Erwin Seba; Editing by Leslie Ad...
The fast barotropic response to the observed wind-stress curl trends during the CP produces a high to low sea level transition and hence a weak to strong subpolar gyre conditions. However, the question arises whether there has been any shift in the North Atlantic ocean surface currents? To ...
On Christmas, the crew exchanged secret Santa gifts, which brought some cheer to the hard rowing conditions. Though they were still 1,666 nautical miles from their destination, for the first time since departure, the seas were calm enough for a swim. The next day brought no relief t...

3d). This stronger MOC means that in spring and early summer more heat was transported northwards by the ocean, partly compensating for the MDR temperature changes linked to SFXA and assisting the development of average SST conditions in the north, whilst reducing the amplitude of the positive ...
