MéteóMer
MéteóMer is a French private company dedicated to world-wide metocean services for all maritime activities:

- Maritime meteorological and swell forecast, for real time assistance,
- Field measurements of waves, winds and currents,
- Operational metocean studies, relying upon satellite measurements, combined with wave propagation and stochastic models.

MéteóMer was involved in a partnership with Ifremer (Institut Français de Recherche pour l"Exploitation en Mer), in construction of the CLIOSat system (Satellite Metocean Climate), distributed worldwide. This general sea-state and wind applied climatology product includes two modes: a satellite metocean climate Atlas, on CDROM, and an on-line service, for insight into a particular area.

With special emphasis on satellite data, MéteóMer has already performed several operational studies, most of them in deep-water conditions. The coastal applications rely upon the basic use of numerical models. MéteóMer will bring to the project its experience in operational use of satellite data for offshore and coastal areas studies. This includes compilation and calibration of all available satellite wind and wave measurements (~ 10 years). Its experience with CLIOSat will be used to set up the statistics and to produce the Atlas of European data. MéteóMer was a leader of the French joint industry project "Use of satellite data for applied knowledge of maritime environment". This leads in part into the production of the CLIOSat.

MéteóMer participated into a CEO project "Remote Sensing Support for Analysis of Coasts" (ENV4-CT96-0369). The contributions to this project were the construction of a metocean database characterizing the Israel coastal area with the contribution of satellite data and the estimation of the potential longshore sand transport rates.

MéteóMer has already performed around 50 operational studies relying upon the combined used of satellite data, wave propagation and stochastic models.
