eSA-Marine system

The eSA-Marine system maps past 'hind-cast', present 'now-cast' and future 'forecast' ocean conditions in South Australia (SA).

Announcing new high-resolution wave forecasts and the resumption of data-assimilation

Data-assimilating forecasts of ocean conditions for Australia's southern coast, shelves and Gulfs have resumed after the successful eSA-Marine system upgrade.

In addition, new high-resolution wave forecast products have also been launched. Based on the global wave model WAVEWATCH III®, the BoM's research wave models AUSWAVE-G3r and AUSWAVE-SVGr are used to provide improved wave forecasts for Australia's southern coast and Gulfs, respectively.

Ocean conditions mapped in eSA-Marine

Conditions mapped in eSA-Marine include:

  • sea surface height 'sea level'
  • sea temperatures
  • sea salinity
  • ocean currents
  • wind speeds and directions
  • peak wave period and height.
