Add OpenWRF 4km Mediterranean model
-
@rsimonis
And what about NEMS model 4km, with Meteoblue in Meteogram ?
What is the domain of the WRF model used by Athens University? -
@idefix37
If you read French here is a link of an extensive study. Bottom line only openWRF predicts this phenomenon

Interesting. Thank you. -

I sail 3-4 months a year, mostly in Greece where most sailors use your app with ECMWRF. However openWRF will show local winds not seen on your current models, like dangerous 50+ knt katabatic NE wind experienced a few time per month during high Meltemi wind.
For instance, Karistos bay (South Evia) should be well protected from high NE Meltemi winds with a 1000 m mountain protecting it. Yet, a few times a year like today Aug 4 2022 but also mid June and early July this year, 50-60 knots Katabatic winds are observed there while not forecasted in your current models. (Karistos 38° 0.783' N 24° 25.034' E)
A group of French sailors in Greece / météo enthusiasts have documented the ineffectiveness of current Windy models in those hot spots and the effectiveness of the Athens University project model openWRF 4 km.Also, Windy App (blue logo) offers this model.
Thank you for considering.

Would be awesome to have all the models I use in one place !

Hey Guys, you should stop repeating the same message. Otherwise you risk being banned from this forum !!
Multiplying posts on the same subject is against Windy forum rules.
https://community.windy.com/topic/20586/windy-community-rulesI understand that you are the WRF lobby group of the Aegean Sea but I'm not sure flooding the forum like this will make your cause worthwhile in the eyes of the Windy team !

@rsimonis this would be a very nice option to integrate this model.
