Weather forecast — model COSMO-5M agreement LAMI

# Cosmo-5M_ makes a forecast of the Mediterranean area up to 72 hours with a grid pass of 5 km, started twice a day by AM analysis and using the IFS boundary conditions of the ECMWF. A further phase of continuous assimilation with deviation technique is also performed to have a continuous analysis dataset. Cosmo-5M is one of the models of LAMI that is an agreement between ARPA Piemonte, Arpae-SIMC Emilia Romagna and National Air Force Service (AM) for the exploitation of the COSMO model. The Department of National Civil Protection (DPCN) has assigned LAMI signatories to systematically execute a suite of state-of-the-art numerical weather forecasting models to the best of their knowledge and provide the results in graphic and numerical form to DPCN and civil protection centers in Italy. This activity is financed by DPCN; the configuration of the model and modeling suites is decided by the LAMI partners, Arpae-SIMC is responsible for the creation and management of part of the LAMI suites; Arpae-SIMC has assigned the CINECA Supercomputing Centre, through public tender, the task of providing the IT and human resources for the implementation, execution and monitoring of part of the LAMI NWP suites.
