Model outputs

The Applications Team can provide a wide range of parameters relating to sea-levels and currents, both tidal and non-tidal (surges). However, if there is something that is required that is not here, please contact us as we still may be able to help you.

Most models can be provided for use in our POLPRED for Windows software and our Hydro-DLL (Dynamic Link Library) for integration into your own Windows software.

We endeavour to provide our customers with the data they request but we will advise you if there is more suitable data available for your particular location.

All data is supplied under licence which we will ask you to sign before any data is provided.

All data is available from the Applications Team, e-mail: applications@pol.ac.uk
