Workshop - 23 Ottobre 2013, Livorno COSMEMOS workshop "Innovation in meteorology for maritime navigation" combined a deep attention to the different scientific issues coverd by hte project with an active presence of professionals users, towards which comparing the capability of the project to fit main needs. Main topics discussed were those of cooperative and GNSS-based observations, data assimilation into local meteo-marine models and weather ship-routing, looking at the present state of the art and at the most promising directions for future developments. COSMEMOS (COoperative Satellite navigation for MEteo-marine MOdelling and Services) is a two-years research and development project, co-funded by the European Commission, 7th Framework Programme. COSMEMOS develops technology and services based on European satellite navigation signals (EGNOS, Galileo), to improve safety of maritime navigation and fuel savings.
