You'd be surprised how many people make their living on the water up here, but their understanding of forecasting seems to amount to "download windy app"!
Anyways, the word ensemble is new vocabulary for me when it comes to forecasting - things are making more sense knowing what an ensemble is.
Ensembles aren't used much outside of competition or serious industry... windy/predictwind/CMAP have usually more than enough weather for the average boater
No argument from me there! But when the forecast completely misses in SE Alaska, or one forecast model displayed in Windy is way different than others, I naturally get curious as to what happened, so have been more interested in the nuts
and bolts than is probably practical.
I'm more comfortable on the water knowing terms like ECMFW, myself!
