Connemara 2D Oceanographic Model

The Connemara 2D Model provides data for Galway Bay on the oceanographic surface parameters: (zeta) Sea Level Height (m), Barotropic Sea Water X Velocity (m/sec), and Barotropic Sea Water Y Velocity (m/sec). Users of the download service can choose a datetime, XY velocity parameters or zeta sea level height and a file type to download data. Note that at any one time, model data is available for the previous 30 days and 3 days into the future. The Connemara model is run to forecast oceanographic parameters such as temperature, sea level and currents level for Galway Bay to support a variety of end-user services such as maritime search and rescue.
