PAPA: Programme for a bAltic network to assess and upgrade an oPerational observing and forecAsting System in the region
Projekt |
11/2002 - 10/2005 |
|
Objectives: - build the basin-wide network for ocean monitoring and forecasting, linking all the Baltic countries, broadening and strengthening the existing network of national institutions already established by PAPA partners;
- identify the gaps in the monitoring systems in the region and in the capability to measure, model and forecast the ecosystem, taking stock of current RTD projects and of the EuroGOOS and BOOS activities;
- build capacities for expertise in the setting up and running of observing platforms, in managing data, in modelling and forecasting the ecosystem;
design an effective observing and forecasting system, inter-comparing experiences and standardising practices, towards the co-ordinated upgrading of the observing and forecasting capabilities in all Baltic countries;
- raise awareness on the benefits of ocean forecasting at local, regional and global scales, involving stakeholders and disseminate PAPA results and products.
