Abstract
SAPO (Autonomous Wave Forecast System) of Balearic Islands is a 72-hour forecast service that SOCIB developed in collaboration with Puertos del Estado. This system runs on SOCIB's computing center. SWAN model is executed in automatic mode twice a day, using as input wave and wind forecasts provided by Puertos del Estado. The model results show the evolution of waves characteristics (height, period and direction) from deep to shallow waters, with a resolution of 1.4 km. Finer resolution (0.5km) simulations around the Balearic Islands are also available on SOCIB thredds server.
