Operational Forecast Panel
The Operational Forecast Panel is displayed in Figure 17.

Operational Forecast Panel
User settings include:

Thresholds for Wave Height, Heave, Pitch, and Roll at origin point (usually CG). The
thresholds represent
peak-to-peak amplitude
of the parameter.

Minimum Operation Time needed to perform an operation (e.g. a crane lift)

Confidence Level

Roll-up of threshold parameters to consider for Go/No-Go condition
In the above example Wave Height and Pitch are being ‘rolled-up’ to provide the conditions for
the Go/No-Go stoplight.

Green
indicates no limits (thresholds) are currently exceeded
and
the Minimum
Operating Time is also met.

Yellow
can only follow a Green condition and indicates that parameters are still below
thresholds but that there is less than the Minimum Operating Time left to complete the
operation

Red
indicates a threshold is exceeded and the number of seconds until it clears.
The Roll-Up and Forecast bars indicate similar conditions. The numbers in the bars represent the
number of seconds (length) of this section of the forecast bar.

Green
indicates no limits exceeded at the bar forecast time
and
no expected limits
exceeded for at least Minimum Operating Time seconds.

Dark Red
indicates a threshold is exceeded and the number of seconds the threshold is
expected to be exceeded.
If a threshold is
not
currently exceeded, but it’s expected to happen in less than the Minimum
Operating Time:
o
Yellow
if this happens after a green section.
o
Red
if this happens after a dark red section.
The Roll-Up is the combination of the selected (check-boxes on the left) forecast parameters.
