SailGrib WR now includes tidal current atlases for the European coasts. These atlases were compiled using data provided by the Mercator Ocean models. They cover all the European coasts where tidal currents are the main ones and are therefore relatively predictable. It does exclude currents for the Baltic and the Mediterranean seas. For these two seas, grib files are available.
If you sail in France and you are looking for more precise atlases, you can purchase packs of tidal currents atlases produced by the Shom.
If you want more details on the atlases, the purchasing and activation procedures, get the dedicated help file.
The atlases were compiled at different scales:
- Maximum resolution for areas where tidal currents are important
- Resolution 0.2 ° elsewhere.
The following atlases are included:
Tous ces atlas sont disponibles dans l’application payante. Il faut, dans un premier temps, les initialiser dans l’application. Lors de la première utilisation, l’application vous propose de le faire.
