Northwest European continental shelf regional wave model predicting sea-state and various sea and swell wave characteristics for waters surrounding the UK.
The Met Office runs global and regional wave forecast models to support marine safety and operational decision making.
Met Office configurations are developed to be run using the community wave model WAVEWATCH IIITM.
The global wave configuration is designed to generate accurate forecasts for open waters of the world's oceans and larger seas,
whilst regional configurations are run in order to improve accuracy closer to the coast.
The Met Office wave models are forced using wind data from the Met Office Global Atmospheric Hi-Res Model and, where
appropriate in regional configurations, currents from the Met Office shelf seas model.

The Met Office runs global wave forecast models to support marine safety and operational decision making. Met Office configurations are developed to be run using the community wave model WAVEWATCH IIITM. The global wave configuration is designed to generate accurate forecasts for open waters of the world's oceans and larger seas. The Met Office wave models are forced using wind data from the Met Office Global Atmospheric Hi-Res Model. The global wave model is run to provide a five day outlook for wave characteristics defining height, period and direction of waves within a given sea-state. The model uses a refined grid system in order to better represent fetch in constrained sea areas and blocking effects of islands and headlands. Please note this is a public beta and therefore a non-operational service.

The Global Ocean component of the Met Office Global Coupled Atmosphere-Land-Ocean-Ice system which has been running in operations since May 2022. The system provides a global physical analysis and coupled forecast products providing 3D daily mean fields of temperature and salinity, zonal and meridional velocities; 2D daily mean fields of sea surface height, bottom temperature, mixed layer depth, sea ice fraction, sea ice thickness and sea ice zonal and meridional velocities; and instantaneous hourly fields for sea surface height, sea surface temperature and surface currents. The Met Office Global Coupled Atmosphere-Land-Ocean-Ice system is comprised of both deterministic and ensemble forecasting systems both of which are coupled to an interactive ocean. Ocean and ice analysis and forecast products are currently generated from the deterministic system once a day with forecast with lead time out to 7 days, interpolated onto a regular latitude-longitude grid products by our Global Ma[...]
