ABSTRACT
The SHOM develops a predicting system over the north east Atlantic ocean (15°W – 2°E, 43°N - 51°N). Recent storm events have highlighted the need of accurate sea level forcasts. Developpements were carried out to include the atmospheric pressures effects on the regional modelling systems. The open boundary conditions have been updated to prevent any long-term sea level drift. A storm event is analysed and the different contribution to the sea level variations are detailed.
