The overarching goal of IMMERSE is ensure that the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service will have continuing access to world-class marine modelling tools for its next generation systems while leveraging advances in space and information technologies, therefore allowing it to address the ever-increasing and evolving demands for marine monitoring and prediction in the 2020s and beyond.

Objectives

• Develop a new, efficient, stable and scalable NEMO reference code with improved performances adapted to exploit future HPC technologies in the context of CMEMS systems.

• Develop NEMO for the challenges of delivering ocean state estimates and forecasts describing ocean dynamics and biogeochemistry at kilometric scale with improved accuracy

• Prepare the exploitation of the next generation of high resolution observing networks within CMEMS systems and in detailed, downstream modelling systems.

• Develop a flexible and generic software tools series for interfacing CMEMS observation and model-based products and detailed, downstream modelling systems

• Provide proven model code and software tools with assessments suitable for rapid deployment in CMEMS
