Wave Forecasting System Based on the HIRLAM model (INM) and WAM and WAVEWATCH models. Maps for the North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea with local applications for the Cantabric Coast, Balearic Islands and Strait of Gibraltar. Forecast horizon: 48 hours (basin scale applications) and 24 hours (local scale applications) Forecasted time series for all the harbours (AAPP). Real time verification with buoy data.
