I noticed some GNU programs related to weather that might help you. I am
not certain if you can get exactly what you want, but here's the link:

Let me know if you find anything useful.

I'm looking for numeric data describing current and forecast wind speed
and
direction over the oceans? I'm looking for something that can be parsed
with
software - like an ascii or documented binary format.

I'm particularly interested in forecasts for several points during the
day,
especially if they're updated frequently. I've been searching, but so far,
I
seem to be finding graphical image data (no use) or numeric data which is
daily at best (often up to monthly).

Could anyone suggest some sources?
