7.8.4. Great Lakes

The newly added Great Lakes wind and wave data is available in two flavors. The very high resolution data is available at a scale of 1/16 of a degree or approximately one data point every 3.75 miles. The coarser resolution, roughly 8 mile scale data, is labeled FAST in SAGA because its downloads occur much more quickly than the fine resolution product. FAST file sizes are roughly just 10% of the size of the high resolution product.

Great Lakes GRIBs are available for forecast durations of 1 through 7 days inside of the Ocean Wind and Ocean Wave sections of GE Plus.
