Model Comparison for seas Question
-
Is there any way that when we choose to compare models that seas can also be included? And if not, are there any plans in the future to include this option when comparing models. Thank you.

@Mr.-Miller
Could you specify what you mean by comparison for seas.
Are you looking for this type of comparison ?
Or are you talking about wave forecast comparison? -
@idefix37 Wave Forecast Comparison.
There is no Wave comparison between different models like there is with winds, etc.
-
@Mr.-Miller
So you want the different types of waves to be added to this comparison table?
That would double its size. I'm not sure all users would appreciate that. -
@idefix37 it would be adding one line per model showing significant wave height per every 3 hours. When a ship is in the middle of the atlantic, one only has a few models to choose from and wouldn't eat up much space.

@Mr.-Miller
Thanks for the additional information.
I think the best solution would be to add a new table similar to the one that compares wind forecasts by models. It would only cover wave forecasts and all types of waves (waves, swell, secondary swell, etc., with their significant wave height and period). You only seem to be considering this comparison for a ship in the middle of the Atlantic, but surfers would be very frustrated because they need the additional information I mentioned. -
@idefix37 That sounds like it would also be a great idea. Just something to compare the different wave model solutions.
