The National Group for Operational Oceanography (GNOO) was created in order to consolidate and coordinate operational oceanographic activities. Its role is to improve the efficiency of the monitoring and forecasting system.
The activities of the group fit into the activities of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and of the Coastal Ocean Observing Panel (COOP). They also contribute to the support of the GMES European Initiative.
In this context, the National Institute For Geophysics and Vulcanology (INGV), which is part of the GNOO, has implemented a Mediterranean Forecasting System which provides public access to forecast bulletins: access MFS
