... a marine weather browser that would overlay (free) graphical weather data on (free) marine charts. ... Having "helped" a number of cruisers with wx routing I think you could be onto something. Individual users can use MaxSea or similar but there are some limitations: 1) it's brutally expensive 2) it will not show some wx info from gribs particularly 6hr precipitation rate which is quite useful 3) it's not on the web. Adding calculations for the sailings (code was recently posted here as the aviation fomulary) would be nice. On the wx side you should be able to choose the global model (GFS and NOGAPS are available world wide), and at the very least show 10 meter winds, isobars and 6hr precip. rate. Other model data that's available but not as critical includes: wave height and direction, surface temperature (weekly), surface current (weekly) and quicksat wind. Actual routing is very hard to get right, but some kind of DR advance along the GC and RL would make interpretation easier. -- Tom. |
