Project outcomes will be the following:
- a high resolution climatology of winds and waves in the Mediterranean
- a study of the impact of weatherrouting on Mediterranean routes
- a
prototype of weatherrouting service in the Mediterranean.
If weatherrouting succeeds, it will be possible to:
- plan routes in
a more accurate way
- save fuel and oil, with a clear impact on the part
of the environment affected by navigation
- increase security, as a consequence
of the improved accuracy in forecasting weather and sea in key hazardous
regions.
