As Silbo pursues the newly given way point out at 44˚ 30 N, 30˚ W we see a nice agreement amongst the forecast models. Although it is a little hard to see due to the different levels of smoothing used in the three models, Copernicus, HYCOM and RTOFS are all currently showing similar signals in the eddy field that lies ahead that will allow Silbo to continue on the step-like path to the north east we plan to take on our way towards England.
