The Météo-France operational SAR model
Met-ocean support & drift forecast
Marine pollutions, containers & SAR
Permanent & Global support since 1994 (marine pollutions) and 1996 (containers & SAR)Operated by skilled forecaster on dutyA trained French organisation: Préfets Maritimes / Cedre / Météo-France / CROSS

Work in progress and forecasted
• Survey of the needs: a questionnaire for the CROSS
• Model improvement: object shape, hydrodynamics: large scale currents (Mercator, FOAM…), waves, coastal effects
• A need for reliable observations
• Collaborative frameworks
