The Gulf of Mexico Atmospheric Predictions project is a joint effort by DNR and two National Weather Service Forecasting Offices. As part of the project wind, barometric pressure, and air temperature predictions are collected for locations in and on the coastlines of the Gulf of Mexico. The predictions are collected 4 times a day (0000 – 0600 – 1200 – 1800 UTC) at the Corpus Christi Weather Forecasting Office (CCWFO) and archived in the DNR database. Predicted values are stored for 3 hr intervals up to 48 hr forecasts. Atmospheric predictions have been archived since 2002 for the Eta-12 or Meso-Eta model. Predictions from the GFS and MM5 models have been stored since the middle of July 2004.[ More Information on Winds ]

The database was created to compare predictions from different atmospheric models and for use within Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models developed both at DNR and at the WFO. More information on ANN models and other data intensive modeling techniques can be found in other parts of the DNR website. The archived forecasts are freely accessible to the public at the links below.
