Future work Development of tailored METOC data to the Norwegian

forces is only just starting. Will continue to develop analysis and forecast products for

direct use in C2I systems (MCCIS, NORCCIS II), electronic chart displays (WECDIS), as well as in support tools such as sonar performance prediction tools (LYBIN).

Closer integration of DNMI and operational HQ will be necessary to meet future requirements for METOC data. Could result in DIANA being available at operational HQ.

Transfers of data from unclassified networks to classified NATO systems remains a challenge – but needs to be resolved if METOC info is to be delivered effectively to deployed units

ConclusionConclusion

- Increasing resolution in satellite images from 1 mIncreasing resolution in satellite images from 1 m to 0.7 m does not add significant information.to 0.7 m does not add significant information.
