Operational National-Scale 3D Hydrodynamic Forecasting for New Zealand Using SCHISM

Over the past years, Calypso Science has been developing high-resolution hydrodynamic representations of New Zealand’s coastal and shelf waters. Early work focused on a national hindcast, which provided a 3D baroclinic reconstruction of currents, temperature, salinity, and tides across the country (National data cube). Building on that work, thanks to PredictWind, we have now deployed a fully operational, national-scale forecast using SCHISM, capable of delivering hourly 3D fields of velocity, temperature, and salinity across the entire New Zealand domain.
