A viable 6-hour weather window is available for at least 80% of the day
A viable 6-hour weather window is available for 50%-80% of the day
A viable 6-hour weather window is available for less than 50% of the day
Operations are assumed to be viable if:
- wave height < 1.5m
- wind speed at 80m < 15m/s
A viable weather window is a period where the metocean conditions remain within the necessary thresholds for 6 continuous hours.
Weather thresholds that are forecast to be exceeded can be viewed by clicking on the location markers. For example...
