One of the research activities of the group is related to wave modelling, which is implemented with modelling product WAM system. It is a state of the art wave analysis and prediction model with some unique capabilities. WAM modelling results are various wave characteristics (wave heights, period, energy) and are calculated daily. Results are presented as images with defined color scale. Images are updated every day usually around 5:30 AM UTC on their website. Nevertheless, animation is updated around 6:00 AM UTC in the application.
