Developing weather forecast delivery system to vessels operating in the Arctic region
Despite the increase in marine traffic in the Polar region, high-quality forecasting has been lackluster in comparison to other areas of the planet. In an effort to improve this situation, the Polar Prediction Project started the multi-year long project named Year of Polar Project (YOPP). FINYOPP is...
