WAKEATLAS / EVIDENCE AND FRESHNESS

How current is our data?

Different feeds update at different times. This page shows what WakeAtlas can verify, including delays and missing monitoring.

Page assembled: 2026-09-12 12:18:30.646Z. Internal summaries may be cached for up to one minute. Refresh to check again.

Four different clocks

Model run / issue: when a forecast was produced. Valid time: when its prediction applies. Observation / image time: when a measurement or image describes the world. Retrieved: when WakeAtlas downloaded it. A successful download does not make old observations current.

Thresholds below are WakeAtlas display checks, not provider service guarantees or proof of accuracy. One fresh station does not establish fresh coverage everywhere. Unavailable means this check could not obtain evidence, not necessarily that the provider is offline.

Buoys and offshore weather stations

Age bands describe the latest stored report for each returned station, using a six-hour display threshold. Different stations have different reporting schedules. These are reports we received, not a complete provider network.

Open-Meteo marine forecast cache

All queued locations cached within 8 hours

559 of 559 queued locations cached; 0 caches older than eight hours. Backoff remaining: 0 seconds.

Locations are normally refreshed about every six hours, subject to quota and retry delays. Each buoy or platform forecast shows its own retrieval and valid times. A provider model issue time is not centrally reported; download time must not be used as a substitute.

Scheduled metadata and atlas refreshes

These checks run without a visitor opening the layer. Sentinel checks cover the bounded UK pilot region, not the world. A successful catalogue check does not verify every image pixel. GFW checks its published version; stored activity snapshots are retained pending review.
