Re: Problems with Predictwind in Lake Michigan

Re: Problems with Predictwind in Lake Michigan

Are you using the High-res PredictWind Models? Where on the Lake are you? I can see validation charts that don't back up your records. It also seems to not match with people using PW to win the...

Re: Can I ditch my SSB radio for an Sat Phone type Iridium Go?

You can change the PW grib file sizes in a variety of ways from within the offshore app, it is very easy and you can make them much smaller than saildocs if you wish. Check out the PW help articles...

Re: Tracking with Predictwind & iridium Go

You can just get an iridium go sim card from PredictWind, then you are able to use their tracking.

Re: PredictWind Tracker

If you click on the boats red dot it will give the lat/long of the position. There is no lat long of the laid down track. There are a bunch of updates coming to this tracker soon.

Re: Predictwind for the Chesapeake

Not sure why you think that fronts are not shown in weather models? They are.
Timing of fronts in models is pretty good. The difference between a forecast and a nowcast is a forecast is for planning...

Re: Predictwind for the Chesapeake

Re: Predictwind for the Chesapeake

Predictwind has 1km res modelling covering most of Chesapeake, so does take in to account land effects in the PWE and PWG models.

Re: Predictwind for the Chesapeake

That is not actually true. The PWG and PWE are a full model run of their own model from initial conditions point.
Have a look on their website for a full explanation.

Re: Predictwind offshore app - polars problem

Hi Tommo,

I work for PredictWind. You are incorrect with your assumption about the polars. The Offshore App uses the same polars as the web version, in fact the same servers do the calculation. No...
