Oceanographic Observations (waves and currents)
-
Dear Windy Team,
I see you are displaying observations of wind and temperature, which is great for meteorological applications. For oceanographic applications, it would be of added value to display observations of waves and currents. Is this something you consider in your future plans?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Wind and temperature are observed by weather stations. They are plenty.
Waves and currents are measured by buoys and drifting buoys.
Meteorological buoys are displayed in Windy but they are identified as Ship and they only report wind and temperature.
Why do you need reported waves and currents data? -
@idefix37 Some buoys do report significant wave height and swell direction and height. It would be used to compare to model wave height.
Thanks! -
@mlsoff2c said in Oceanographic Observations (waves and currents):

I know that some buoys report these parameters but not in Windy unfortunately. This would be a good addition.
Same with weather stations in Windy they are not showing all parameters they report.
