VIRTUAL MEETING | Forecasting for dinghy regattas

ABSTRACT | The high quality forecasts available around the world from agencies such as the Met Office & NOAA make getting a synoptic level forecast for any typical regatta location reasonably straightforward. It's also possible to apply post-processing at a higher resolution to produce forecasts that almost, but not quite, take into account land features such as hills & valleys. The job of a regatta forecaster is to think sub-grid & to try & draw more information out of the forecast that will help sailors make better on the water decisions, and this talk aims to go through some of these processes.
