Collaborations with Major European Organizations

• Partner: European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast. Reading (UK)

• World leading Numerical Weather Centre, that include an ocean analysis section in order to provide ocean initial condition fo the coupled ocean atmosphere forecast. They play a significant role in the NEMOVAR project in which we are also partner.

• Partner: Met Office (U.K) National British Numerical Weather and Oceanographic service. Exceter (UK).

• We do have a strong collaboration with their ocean initialization team through both our NEMO, NEMO-ASSIM and NEMOVAR activities. They also are our partner in the NEMOVAR consortium.

• Partner: Marine Hydrographic Institute, Natinal Ac.Sci. Ukraine, Sevastopol.

• We have a long term collaboration about data assimilation with the Black Sea. This collaboration is getting to a new level with their plan to adopt NEMO and NEMOVAR for their operational forecasting system. On our side, we will benefit from their expertise on the Black Sea dynamics, that is an excellent test case for our developments and methods.
