Towards the Mediterranean Forecasting System MyOcean V5: numerical experiments results and validation

Riassunto

This work describes a set of numerical experiments carried out using a coupled wave-ocean modeling system implemented in the Mediterranean Sea in order to meet the needs of an improvement of the operational sea state and current analysis and forecasts in the framework of the MyOcean FollowOn project. MyOcean is a series of projects granted by the European Commission within the GMES Program (Seventh Framework Program), whose objective is a pan-European capacity for ocean monitoring and forecasting. INGV is responsible for the production of two products within MyOcean: • Mediterranean Sea Physics Analysis and...
