Each grid box represents an average value of atmospheric conditions over a specific area. [1] However, in reality, within each of these grid boxes, there is a variety of distinct microclimates localized areas where weather conditions differ significantly due to factors like elevation, vegetation, urban structures, or bodies of water.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Benchmark Labs aims to create point specific wave models to extend forecasting beyond 1 hour.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Method &amp; Result<\/strong>: We evaluated multiple forecasting models, including ARIMA, XGBoost, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks. Our analysis demonstrated that these models yielded reliable performance for short-term forecasts (1\u201312 hours). However, further refinement is necessary to enhance predictive accuracy for longer-term horizons extending beyond 24 hours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data Collection<\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Our primary data source was the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), part of the National Weather Service. The data consists of publicly sourced worldwide buoy data reported hourly. To account for missing values, we merged the data with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis 5 (ERA5) dataset which aims to create a complete historical record of past weather and climate data. The final dataset contains variables explaining wind, wave and atmospheric behaviour.

forecast horizons and seemed to produce smoother forecasts, making it the better choice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We were able to achieve high accuracy for the first 5 hours, with R<sup>2 <\/sup>ranging from as high as 0.96 to around 0.8 for these predictions and RMSE below 0.3. Expanding to 10-12 hours, we saw a reduction in accuracy to around 0.6 R<sup>2<\/sup> and 0.4 RMSE, which can still be useful. However, going beyond that point is unreliable and requires more work to predict accurately.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Steps<\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Going forward, there are several opportunities to optimize our models. First, additional fine-tuning may yield further improvements. Second, exploring variables with stronger correlations to wave height, such as salinity, could enhance accuracy. Finally, a full VMD-LSTM framework without data leakage remains a promising direction for future work if given more time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acknowledgements<\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We gratefully acknowledge Ulrik Soderstrom and the entire Benchmark Labs team for their guidance and continued support throughout this project.
