Ocean & atmospheric modelling

Ocean modelling, finally fast and intuitive

MarCast brings validated ocean and atmospheric modelling — drift, dispersion and metocean analysis — into one intuitive, cloud-based ecosystem, so a far wider range of organisations can predict, plan and respond with confidence.

What we model

One validated core across the ocean modelling domain

Drift & dispersion modelling

Model how substances and objects move and spread across the marine environment under wind, current and tide.

Metocean analysis

Turn currents, winds, tides, waves and atmospheric data into usable insight for any marine operation.

Coupled ocean & atmosphere

Coupled ocean and atmospheric data to sharpen every forecast and scenario.

Cloud-based & intuitive

Set up scenarios and read clear outputs in minutes, with no specialist bottleneck.

Custom development

Bespoke ocean and atmospheric software built around your project.

Validated & defensible

Accurate, repeatable results you can rely on and defend.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What is ocean modelling?

Ocean modelling uses data on currents, winds, tides and waves to predict how the marine environment behaves and how substances or objects move within it, supporting response, planning and risk assessment.

What is metocean analysis?

Metocean analysis combines meteorological and oceanographic data — currents, winds, tides, waves and atmospheric conditions — to inform marine operations and modelling.

Is MarCast ocean modelling cloud-based?

Yes. The software is a cloud-based ecosystem so you can set up and run validated models from anywhere, in minutes.

Can MarCast build custom ocean modelling software?

Yes — alongside the core software, we develop bespoke ocean and atmospheric software around specific project needs.
