Satellite/Radar: We supply satellite images from both geostationary and polar orbiting satellites and radars.

Observations: Access to observations over both land and sea. We can also receive, input and present the customer"s own observations.

Tide: Storm uses a global tide model to provide forecasts of ocean tidal height and surge. This model operates by assimilating satellite altimeter data and incorporating sea level pressure from an atmospheric model. Forecasts are available in either short-term detailed format or in tidal tables for a longer time range.

Current: Storm uses a three-dimensional ocean model to provide forecasts of ocean currents, sea temperature, salinity and sea level at a fine scale. The ocean model includes tides and fresh water input, and is updated once daily. Forecasts are available every hour at selected water depths.

Consultations: We have meteorologists on duty 24 hours a day, throughout the year, always accessible to our customers. Weather consultations are provided via telephone and advanced video transmission.
