  skos:definition """The Project aims at the further development of an operational forecasting
system for the Mediterranean Sea based upon three main components:
a) the Near Real Time Observing system;
b) the numerical forecasting systems at basin scale and for regional areas;
c) the forecast products dissemination/exploitation system.

The problems to be solved belong to three major categories:

1) Technology developments, connected to the new instrumentation for NRT
monitoring and the provision of NRT protocols for data dissemination,
comprehensive of telecommunication technology and quality control procedures;
2) Scientific development, connected to the understanding of the sampling
scheme for different measuring platforms, the design and implementation of data
assimilation schemes for different spatial scales, the ecosystem modelling
validation/calibration experiments at the basin and the coastal areas scale and
the development of data assimilation techniques for biochemical data;
3) Exploitation developments, consisting of software interfaces between
forecast products and oil spill modelling, general contaminant dispersion
models, relocatable emergency systems, search and rescue models, and fish stock
observing systems. In addition, the study of forecast economic value and impact
will be carried out.
