Operational and research applications in the Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Croatia

摘要

The applications being developed and used at Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Croatia cover broad areas of meteorology, climatology, renewable energy, hydrology, air quality modeling, and other. Applications used for operational weather forecasting include the numerical weather prediction model ALADIN, data preprocessing and model output post-processing tools as well as visualization applications. Other meteorological numerical models (such as WRF, COAMPS, WAsP, MM5, RegCM) are utilized for research purposes and additional applications. The operational system is automatic and controlled by a set of scripts that coordinate the model execution and related modules with the availability of the input data. The final products are disseminated to the end-users as soon as the module responsible for its generation is finished.
