ADRICOSM APPROACH Coastal water cycle integrated strategy Multidisciplinary Multi-platform Observing system (satellites, atmospheric and oceanographic stations, river, urban and underground water monitoring) Numerical models of the atmosphere, marine and river hydrodynamcs, underground waters coupled to water quality and sediment transport Climate change scenario simulations coupled to regional/local models Production of generic high quality data for environmental managers and policy makers

19. CONCLUSIONS Within the last 20 years Operational Oceanography has developed a thick network of modelling and observing data and products At a regional scale (Mediterranean) the “base” products are freely available through MyOcean At sub-regional (Adriatic) an effort was done to start to create a semi-centralized GeoPortal to access the data All these products proved and keep proving everyday to be fundamental instruments for end users such as European and local Agencies ad Services, Member states, policy and decision makers Thank You
