    After watching this, I decided to visit my local spot when HRRR was the only model predicting strong wind from thermal effect. Wind was perfect and I had a nice session. If I hadn't watched this video, I would have seen on Windfinder that there was no wind today. So, I'd say watching this video was a good use of 10 minutes.

    I have been using IGetWind since I saw your video - nice stuff, well researched and laid out. Turns out where I am in summer (Lac St-Jean, Qc) HRDPS/LAM is pretty much dead accurate around 6 to 8 knots, it tends to overestimate below 6 and underestimate above 8. Once we know that, we know if we are likely to go out or not and what to tote around. Bless you guys for that info !

    Thanks for the quality of your videos! Here in Quebec city, HRRR is definitely the one we check the night before. For 1-2days I use NAM3, NAM12 for 2-3 days and GSF for 3+ days. We don't look much at the prediction in altitude since we use short line and ride on small kites (7-9m) most of the times. HRRR comes in very handy for S-W winds which are powered by a major thermal effect. N-E winds are normally a no brainer, its always good if it stays for more than 1 day.

    A timely video! I am working on a model which makes predictions at my local kite beach for the next 24 hours at 5 minute intervals. It is updated every 5 minutes. I am using the Weatherflow network. The goal of the project was to use machine learning algorithms to produce a more granular prediction than existing models. Excellent video!

      @@OurKiteLife The Temptest looks like a great embedded device. I hope to purchase two in the future! The dataset I am using to train the LSTM RNN came directly from WF. I don't know what hardware systems are deployed by WF commercially. I have kited near one of their stations and the sensor does not look ultrasonic like the Temptest so I suspect they are different. A huge hurdle to this research project was the non-uniform time intervals of observations and missing missing observations which required significant interpolation. While this was not ideal in my case it should not impact your use case (getting a wind observation at 11:59 instead of 12:00). Enjoy the new gadget!

    As usual, you and your group are far more advanced in your technical understanding of this sport. I use WF-WRF for all my local forecasting in south western Ontario (Windsor area). I'd estimate it correctly predicts our "micro-climate" winds, for the day, 90% of the time. I rarely find that it over estimates wind speed - in fact, there's been many days where its predictions on wind speed have been underestimated

    I'm from the Netherlands, and I usually use and compare the GFS and ECWMF for longe range expectations, and the Arome and Harmonie (which is a Dutch bureau of meteorology's short term highj resolution version of the HIRLAM) for the next day or 2 days. They tend to be the most accurate, though the WRF is not too bad either most of the time. One thing I find is that gusts are exaggerated with all the models a lot of the time. ICON is pretty crap imo.

    Thanks for this great summary video. From France I usually look at WRF, ICON and AROME, have to say my personnal 'feeling' is that AROME 1.3km has a tendancy to be optimistics on wind speed, while the 2.5km model is smoother, but this would need to be factually investigated.

    • @OurKiteLife
      @OurKiteLife  4 роки тому +1

      from our research, the downside of high resolution models, like AROME 1.3 km, is that they can produce artifacts which don't represent reality. That may explain why it is too optimistic sometimes. TDLR: maximum resolution doesn't always mean better forecast

  • @leonelmateus
    @leonelmateus 4 роки тому +1

    the real answer is it depends. where you are. when in europe I use different models then when Im at the great lakes. I prefer pessimistic/conservative models since I invest considerable time in my session setup (getting to and from, etc.). thanks for the cool vid.

    • @leonelmateus
      @leonelmateus 4 роки тому +1

      Forecasts age really quickly, i.e. become obsolete with the passage of time, the best forecasts refresh frequently, ideally within 3h.. resolution is that not as important as local features in gauging what the actual wind will be like once you get there, such as doming (a prevalent problem with Lake Erie) or wind tunneling effect features i.e. Venturi effect (hills, etc.). Each model should be consulted based on its historic accuracy for the spot that you are considering so as to not waste your session time. The Venturi effect alone can make the difference between rigging a 9m kite and a large flysurfer and thus affecting your session quality. When in Europe I'll go to one beach to rig a 9 and another beach if I'm feeling lazy and rig a 14, all because of wind compression around cliffs, etc.

    I'm curious which is the highest resolution model that does the Caribbean? Specifically Turks and Caicos. Also would be nice to have a link list in the description or blog post summarizing your findings (resolution, coverage area, etc.) for each model. I am also confused which companies offer which models. For example HRRR, you showed 3 different companies in the background, but it's unclear if these are the ones you recommend to acess data from that given model?

    • @OurKiteLife
      @OurKiteLife  4 роки тому +1

      It appears that Turks and Caicos fall right on the edge of HRRR and NAM3. If you go to Ikitesurf you can see those two models for Providenciales. We usually look at model maps on ikitesurf, which display most of the discussed models in the video such as gfs, nam3, hrrr, etc... Ikitesurf does not display ECMWF, but it comes with our subscription to predictwind. In the end of the day it is up to you which website you use for wind forecast for any given model, as it depends on personal preference. We use ikitesurf for NAM3, HRRR, WRF-2KM, and Predict Wind for ECMWF, PWG and PWE.

    Cool vid. Is there publicly accessible data to confirm the oft-repeated refrain of "this model has a better resolution therefore its predictions are better"? Every claim in the video and in the comments seem to be nothing but anecdotal. I'm thirsty for some numbers behind the claims. While it makes sense to assume better resolution = better predictions, how better is better? Is it academically better or noticeably/functionally better? Plus, I don't really care how good a model is overall; I only care if it's good for the spot I want to go.

    Locally in Vancouver the most important forecast we use is the TAF forecast for CYVR airport. It's a text based forecast updated about 4 times a day by professionals and it's used by all the planes landing and taking off so it's rather important. It only goes out about 36h. You can find Pearson and Hamilton here: wtfbc.ca/taf?station=CYYZ wtfbc.ca/taf?station=CYHM
    We also rely on the University of Washington Atmospheric Sciences model that takes GFS and refines it for Washington/Oregon and Southern BC. This model is only any good outside of summer though. wtfbc.ca/gspot.php

My poorest experiences were on lake surrounded by trees, and close to sea or large field areas, so certainly the zone average was overestimating the actual value on those lakes. If wind is largely over my lightest limit, I am ok with several sails, but when it is borderline, I must admit that I have always been disappointed and wondered why it was always to the lowest 🥴. Now I start to understand! 😇. Wind direction lead probably also to more or less difference between model average and actual on those lake spots! 🤓.

    In south Florida GFS and ECWMF are the worst IMO. My top 3 are NAM 3K, WF-WRF 2K (Both free on the Wind Alert APP) and maybe the most reliable.... The weather channel app! No joke. They don't give gust forecast but the base wind is more accurate than any other I have found.

      yeah weather channel and accuweather is a topic of its own, as they combine multiple models, post process and cross reference as a nowcast, meaning that they can actually produce the most accurate forecasts out there.

    I would be useful to find a model linked to our agenda: good wind when you are available for kiting😎 and no wind when you are too busy🥴 I don’t know why but it seems to be built at the opposite 😜

    The screen you're reading from is too far from the camera, it looks weird when you don't look at "me" :D
    Thanks for the great content!

      Thanks for the feedback! We are looking into other options at the moment for this... believe it or not we shot the whole video twice because the first take was even worse than this version! 🤦‍♀️
