NEMO – Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean

What is NEMO? NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean, www.nemo-ocean.eu/) is a state-of-the-art modelling framework widely used in ocean and climate research, as well as in operational forecasting. It provides a flexible and modular system for simulating the ocean in its physical, sea-ice, and biogeochemical components.

OceanVar2

Due to the sparsity of data in the ocean interior, oceans require specialized data assimilation schemes. The OceanVar2, developed at CMCC, is a state-of-the-art variational ocean data assimilation framework.

WRF – Weather Research and Forecasting model

What is WRF WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting model, Skamarock et al., 2019) is a mesoscale numerical weather prediction system designed for both atmospheric research and operational forecasting applications, developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Boulder, CO, U.S.A. It relies on two dynamical cores: the Advanced Research WRF (ARW) and the NCEP Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model (NMM).

WW3 – WAVEWATCH III

What is WW3? WAVEWATCH III (WW3) (WW3DG, 2019) is a third-generation spectral wave model that integrates the latest advances in wind–wave dynamics. Originally developed at NOAA/NCEP, it is now maintained and further developed by the international WW3 Development Group.
