• Starting its activity in 1985 as an Office of ERSA (Regional Institute for Agricultural Development), since the beginning SMR focused on:
- Local scale (mesoscale )- Short range weather forecasts- Support to agriculture
• 1989 - Start of Numerical Weather Prediction (LAMBO)
• ‘90 - Implementation of C-Band Dual Polarisation Doppler Radar
• Middle of ‘90 - Increase and development of user support activity
- Operational assistance to Civil Protection Departments
• 1996 - Moving to ARPA (Regional Agency for Protection and Environment)

WP 1 - Project Management
Objective: To provide the necessary management throughout the project, to safeguard the objectives of the study, and optimise the co-operation between the participants.
Activities: The coordinator shall be the intermediary between partners and the Commission. He is responsible for transmitting to the Commission all documents. The coordinator shall transfer to the partners the funds paid by the Commission. (Annex II)

Re-mapping of radial wind radar data onto LAPS grid
Kickoff meeting - Herrsching (DE) 28-29/1/2002
•Purpose: Updating forecasts for operational use
•Solution: Developing of a continuous assimilation system. Full exploitation of different types of available data
•Technical Implementation: Use of LAPS coupled with the actual LAM used (LAMBO).
•Future: Operational test with forecast updating every 6 hours. Use of non-hydrostatic model (LM).
