Pre-operational oceanography needs internationally organised monitoring and communications networks, and rationalisation of the range of models used. "PROMISE" comprises a group of leading European organisations addressing these requirements via a user community and wider initiatives such as EUROGOOS.

Pre-operational Modelling in the Seas of Europe


PROMISE is
an EU-RTD
project

Project summary
PROMISE's objectives are to: This framework can be used for subsequent application to other coastal areas and for broader management applications.

  • develop a framework in which to optimise the application of existing pre-operational dynamical models of the North Sea
  • quantify sediment exchange rates/scales between coast and near-shore
Project leader: Dr D. Prandle
