Regional Ocean Forecasting Systems

The ROFS Division addresses the following streams of activities:

  • Managing and Enhancing the Copernicus Mediterranean and Black Sea Systems
    The division leads efforts in coordinating, optimizing, and developing reanalysis, analysis, and forecast systems for the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions within the Copernicus Marine Service.
  • Development of Regional Ocean Modeling and Data Assimilation
    The division develops and implements state-of-the-art regional ocean models and data assimilation systems specifically targeting the Mediterranean and Black Sea regions and it is involved in the innovation, design and development of regional forecasting systems, including coupled and ensemble forecasting systems.
  • Optimizing Operational Chains
    The division is committed to the continuous maintenance, optimization, and enhancement of operational chains for forecasting systems in the Mediterranean (MedFS), Black Sea (BSFS), and Global Ocean (GOFS16) domains.
  • Streamlining Data Management
    The division implements data management, archiving, and delivery tools to facilitate the access of critical data for forecasting activities.
