Abstract
We would like to bring to your attention the products and results of the Cyprus Coastal Ocean Forecasting and Observing System (CYCOFOS), a sub-regional forecasting and observing system in the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine Basin, which covers the coastal and open sea areas of Cyprus, Cilician and Lattakian basins and the Eastern Levantine Base.
CYCOFOS was initially developed in early 2002. CYCOFOS follows the developments of European research projects developing and promoting the operational oceanography, such as the MFSPP, MFSTEP, MAMA, MERSEA, ECOOP, MyOcean. CYCOFOS is related also to operational oceanographic initiatives, such as EuroGOOS, MONGOOS, MedGLOSS and Copernicus-GMES.
