A method of the submerged object’s motion forecast based on oceanographic and atmosphere operational models is described. High resolution fields of sea currents shall be calculated using a simplified barotropic local model in the area of the object with the boundary conditions from the operational oceanographic global model. The domain of high resolution calculations shall be defined automatically depending on the object’s probable position, local bathymetry and the latest available global forecast. Higher resolution of the predicted local current field can be achieved by means of the shape function commonly used in the finite element method.
