Technical requirements: The purpose of the consultation is to contribute to the development and maintenance of scientific applications for operational oceanography by providing pre-processing of input data, validation of analyses and forecasts, post-processing of analyses and forecasts and production of oceanographic information.
The aim of Lot 1 is to contribute to the development and optimisation of software for the pre-processing of input data from the various operational systems (including ATD-F) so that the products are available on time for users and according to the constraints imposed by CMEMS.
Subject to the availability of a budget and satisfactory performance of the service, the contract may be renewed by decision of Mercator Ocean until 31.3.2021.
By decision of the European Commission, each contract may be renewed 3 times, it being specified that each renewal will be equal to 3 months, without the total duration of the contract exceeding 31.12.2021.
The aim of Lot 2 is to contribute to the development of post-processing software for the validation of Mercator Ocean analyses and forecasts and the optimisation of existing software (TEP_CLASS4, TEP_BUL) so that products are available on time for users and according to the constraints imposed by CMEMS.
Subject to the availability of a budget and satisfactory performance of the service, the contract may be renewed by decision of Mercator Ocean until 31.3.2021.
By decision of the European Commission, each contract may be renewed 3 times, it being specified that each renewal will be equal to 3 months, without the total duration of the contract exceeding 31.12.2021.
The aim of Lot 3 is to contribute to the development and optimisation of the existing software for the production of the GREP for multi-model global oceanic reanalyses so that the products are available on time for users and according to the constraints imposed by CMEMS.
Subject to the availability of a budget and satisfactory performance of the service, the contract may be renewed by decision of Mercator Ocean until 31.3.2021.
By decision of the European Commission, each contract may be renewed 3 times, it being specified that each renewal will be equal to 3 months, without the total duration of the contract exceeding 31.12.2021.
The aim of Lot 4 is to contribute to the development and optimisation of the algorithms for calculating the key CMEMS ocean indicators so that the Ocean State Report and the indicator products are available on time for users and according to the constraints imposed by CMEMS.
