The purpose of the strategic project “Modernisation of the National Weather Observation Network in Croatia − METMONIC”
Establishment of a modern and high quality system of automatic surface meteorological stations, meteorological-oceanographic buoys and remote measurement systems, including meteorological radars. In total, over 400 modern automatic meteorological systems will provide traceable, reliable, high quality and timely information on the state of the atmosphere and the sea throughout the territory of the Republic of Croatia.
This will allow continuous monitoring of weather, climate, and climate change and will improve early-warning of hazardous weather in order to support adaptation systems to climate change and natural disasters, thus providing direct support to sustainable development, increasing security, and preserving human lives and goods.
Analysis of the current meteorological observation network and its supporting technical, informational, and organizational systems confirms that there is a great need to increase the availability of measured climate variables as well as the analyses of climate conditions for the needs of different economic branches and public activities.
