What is COPERNICUS?
Copernicus is the European Union's Earth Observation Programme, looking at our planet and its environment for the ultimate benefit of all European citizens. It offers information services based on satellite Earth Observation and in situ (non-space) data.
It is implemented in partnership with the Member States, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), EU Agencies and Mercator Océan.

Role of DHMZ
is a governmental institution established by the Government as the central state institution for the fields of meteorology, hydrology, climatology and air quality providing expert services for state administration bodies and public
The basic tasks: - to provide support to economic development- environment protection- to act towards the preservation of life and
material goods from natural hazards and disasters and to mitigate their consequences
was registered with the Ministry of Science, Education and
Sport as an institution carrying out scientific research in the field of natural sciences (geophysics)
