7. DHMZ - 70 years of activities
National hydro-meteo authority of Croatia
Observations, forecasts/warnings for weather hydro and sea state
Observations : more than 160 years of operative measurements
Marine meteo forecasting center - Split and Rijeka harbours (24/7)
R&D on weather marine hydro and climate
operative meteo HR NWP model , pre-operative wind wave model
Warnings to public, civil protection authorities, marine safety
interdisciplinary local HR warnings, coastal events
AMMC ( Adriatic Marine meteo center ) WMO /WIS /WIGOS
step 1 - national integration of marine observations (and metadata)
and operative products

8. DHMZ – activities in marine meteorology
Marine Meteorological Centre
Activities are based upon Safety of Life at Sea - SOLAS Convention.
The weather bulletin is issued regularly four times per day:
warnings
brief synoptic analysis
weather forecast
visibility and sea state
weather reports from
the selected stations

10. DHMZ motivation to join the I-STORMS
to improve the knowledge on the sea flood phenomenas in general, and at Adriatic Ionian region ( storm surge and meteotsunami origins)
- to be active contributor in the development of regional strategy and
guidelines related to the early warning systems for severe coastal
events
to contribute to applied operative regional actions from R&D to end products for local communities
- to meet and connect regional colleagues, experts and users

13. Storm surges in Croatia – case Rovinj 10th Feb 2016
Geographical factors
Intensive atm. synoptic and mesoscale systems
Gale force wind over the open sea area (28 m/s)
Rough sea state significant wave height m
Sea level anomaly 70 cm

14. I-STORMS project goals
Establishment of I-STORMS networks, composed of national partners, who will participate in the development and implementation of I-STORMS tools, and the development and implementation of national practices, early warning procedures and civil protection.
Creating an ADRION Sea Storm Atlas, which will include information on past storms, descriptions of the damage and an overview of existing intervention procedures on the threats in the project partners' countries.
An inventory of operational met-ocean observations and forecasting infrastructure for the ADRION domain (metadata with formats, data policy)
Development of a common information platform for early warning of the possibility of flooding of the sea.
Establish a common ADRION strategy for more effective response, management and protection of coastal areas
Display and dissemination of project results through public presentations, printed materials and publicly available web and mobile applications.

I-STORMS survey
Map of the observed sea flooding at Croatian coast - harbors, marines
-caused by: storm surges, high waves,
meteo-tsunami

16. I-STORMS Web Integrated System (IWS)
Design and implementation of a common earyl warning system : 1. Common sharing system of met- ocean observations and numerical met- ocean forecasting models 2. Transnational Multi-model Ensemble (TMES) composed by available sea state forecasts 3. Collaborative Geoportal to access both observations and TMES products
