Scientists at Weather Research Center have developed an operating model for forecasting site specific current profiles in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The Site Specific Thermostrophic Current Profile (SS-TCP) provides a four to seven day current forecast that is available three, five or seven days a week. Each forecast is tailored to the specific location of the customer’s operations. This is the only model of this type that is available today.

Those companies with operations in the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico understand the hazards that currents can cause. Unexpected current speeds can cause problems in operations costing time and money.

Using the SS-TCP, companies can plan and work taking into account the forecasted speed and direction of these currents and various depths, providing more efficient work schedules and saving money and equipment.
