•Legacy sensor data
•WMO data
•Enhances National and Regional (local ) Forecaster’s
Decision Support Systems
•Integrated Real Time Sensor observation information
•More diversified observation data with increased quantity
•NWP Mesoscale Models - ALADIN and MM5
•Forecasting and Nowcasting tools
•Upgrades Communication Infrastructure
•National / Regional - VSAT
•SIMINcast - Broadcast (VSAT) of data to all Regional Forecast Centers
•Surface Observation collection – GSM/SMS
•Subscribers – Dedicated Lines and PSTN
•Improves the Dissemination of Forecasts, Warnings and
Alerts to Agencies and the Public
Modernize Romania’s National Resources for Meteorological and Hydrological Phenomena Detection and Forecasting
