Bonjour,
Actuellement il y a 2 tableaux dans Times to Equator.
Pourquoi et lequel choisir ?
Merci

First Line of the arrays says : "Full Options" and "No Options".

Hi
What means it. GFS model ?

4.1 12z
4.1 06z
4.1 00z
3.1 18z
2.1 12z
2.1 06z
2.1 00z
1.1 18z

It's the NOAA GFS run.

"4.1 12z" means "According to the weather forecast from 4th of January, 12 h (noon) UTC"

12z actually means "forecast, based on data at 12 UTC". The forecast itself becomes available 4-5 hours later.

Ok, thank's
(ah ah, 12z ==> is not z as zezo !)

Hi, Why "The forecast itself becomes available 4-5 hours later." ?
Time to include to zezo ?

That's the time the NOAA supercomputer cluster takes to compute the entire weather model.

It starts about two hours about 12:00 (it takes some time to collect observation data from various sources all around the world) , then it takes a bit more time to compute a complete model of the current conditions based on observation data (called analysis), and then it starts issuing forecasts.

The actual schedule can be found here

Hi,
thanks for the Noaa scheduling, but now I have just a question:
from the end of a previous transmission up to the start of the next one, is there any changing in weather forecast? If not, as I guess, why I have often seen changing in optimal route on zezo routing simulator during the no transmission periods?
Thanks a lot in advance.

If you ask about the predicted tracks for the Jules Verne - they should not really change between updates (unless you are at "Start now")

The 16-day forecast is finished downloading at 5:00/11:00/17:00/23:00 UTC, and the predictions table is generated about 5 minutes later, so there should not be a any between e.g. 11:00 and 15:35, then between 15:35 and 17:00 new data is fed into the router incrementally.

While underway small changes are inevitable at every step. Like exact tack/gybe times, exact directions and so on. There exists a huge amount of routes with very little difference in the outcome, and the router picks one at random. It has no memory of the routing it did for you 5 minutes ago. Also, exact following of the optimum angles is not guaranteed (and sometimes there is a optimum range like TWA 141-143 with same VMG), so you can do a bit better by checking the polars for the exact current wind speed.

Thank you so much, Cvetan. Your answer have been really exhaustive.

For a while on J.V bugg road the weather is not good.
