Copernicus MED MFC - PHASE I

MEDITERRANEAN – MONITORING FORECASTING CENTRE (MED MFC) PHASE I
 

The Mediterranean – Monitoring Forecasting Centre (MED MFC) aims to provide regular and systematic information about the physical state of the ocean and marine ecosystems for the Mediterranean Sea. The system is based on a numerical ocean model, which assimilates in situ and satellite data. A main purpose of MED MFC is to be an expert centre for ocean analyses and forecasts in the Mediterranean Sea. It gathers expertise and knowledge in the field of the regional Mediterranean Sea dynamics (from waves to currents and biogeochemistry), it is an interface with local data collection networks, and it enhances technical links with other CMEMS components.  Moreover, MED MFC’s objectives include the planning and efficient implementation of systems upgrades, products quality, and support to the production of the Ocean State Report (OSR) and Ocean Monitoring Indicators (OMI).
