About HIDRA
HIDRA2[1] is a next generation deep model for sea-level
forecasting, replacing the original HIDRA 1[2].
The models are the result of a collaboration between
the Visual Cognitive Systems Lab, University of Ljubljana, Faculty of
Computer and Information Science,
the Marine biology station at the National Institute of Biology
and
the Slovenian
Environment Agency (ARSO).
HIDRA bases its predictions on ensemble weather forecasts from the European Centre for Medium-Range
Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and 72-hour sea-level measurements at the Koper mareographic station (source:
ARSO).
The model was trained on ERA5 data from 1970 to 2021 and finetuned on a dataset of ECMWF weather
forecasts from 2006 to 2023 and Koper sea-level measurements for the same period.
