IMMERSE: Improving ocean models for the COPERNICUS programme

Specific project aims, in response to the future priorities for CMEMS, are to develop new capabilities to:
• enable the production of ocean forecasts and analyses that exploit upcoming high-resolution satellite datasets
• deliver ocean analyses and forecasts with the higher spatial resolution and additional process complexity demanded by users
• exploit the opportunities of new high-performance computing (HPC) technology
• allow easy interfacing of CMEMS products with detailed local coastal models.
These developments will be delivered in the NEMO ocean model, an established, world-class ocean modelling system that already forms the basis of the majority of CMEMS analysis and forecast products.
