Synergy between coastal forecasting Synergy between coastal forecasting and newly available data and and newly available data and

methodologies (a step towards next methodologies (a step towards next generation forecasting systems)generation forecasting systems)

E. V. Stanev and WP7 Partners

First Annual First Annual MeetingMeeting

Enhance the exploitation of newly available near real time data in order to improve the quality of coastal ocean forecasting.

Provide a design for the next generation observing systems, including hardware, software, quality assurance and sampling strategies.

Enhance the cooperation between scientific communities working in the near coastal ocean and the community of operational oceanographers in down scaling their models to coastal scales.

Objectives of WP7Objectives of WP7

Objectives of WP7 Objectives of WP7 (continued)(continued)

Improve forecasting capabilities of pre-operational sediment transport models.

Improve quality of forecasting at European level by means of super-ensemble forecasting.

Contribute to advancing system development and baseline systems beyond the state-of-the-art and distribute new products via EDMS and EuroMISS.
