Institute profiles on the current capabilities in pre-operational ocean forecasting in the Mediterranean

Introduction and General Information

This is a key component of MeDir-OP. It contains information on:

  • key institutions dealing with the monitoring of the marine environment or underpinning research for operational oceanography, and
  • potential users of marine services.

Monitoring is here defined as the process by which observations are collected systematically on a long-term basis, to be eventually assimilated into dynamical models to produce useful information.

The targeted institutions are:

  • operational oceanography agencies
  • marine research institutions relevant to ocean monitoring
  • oceanographic data centres
  • potential users/recipients of operational marine services, such as coast guards, shipping companies, port authorities, environmental agencies, etc.

Each institute profile provides an overview on the operations of the institute/agency/organisation dealing with the monitoring, assessment and forecasting of the state of the ocean and coastal areas.

It consists of the following components:

  • Institute Name
  • Institute Address and Contacts
  • Type of Institution
  • Mission
  • Type of Activities
  • Main Sectors/Fields of activity
  • Staff
  • Ongoing Programs
  • Numerical Modelling & Forecasting
  • Support/Services required for operational oceanography
