PdE Monitoring Service: The future
Upgrade existing networks
1. Increase number of stations (remarkable: tide-gauges case)
2. Upgrade measuring devices
3. Increase sampling frequency
New networks: Incorporation of new technologies (i.e. HF Radar)

The PORTUS System
New concept!!! Enhanced interface to favour the integration of the very diverse
available information Real-time Analyzed & historical Forecasting
First and principal end-user: Harbour Authorities Each harbour have a single entry point to access the available
environmental information required by its particular interests and needs
Added value products (i.e. met-ocean state alert system) will be developed
PORTUS system ready to be expanded in order to provide tailored products to different user sectors (fisheries, tourism, research…)

Conclusions
The Área de Medio Físico of PdE provides a sustained presence in the coastal ocean emphasizing its primary interest on harbors as main end-user, but never forgetting the remarkable service that marine information available can have for science, education, technology development, and decision making
The Área serves as a national public resource for ocean monitoring and forecasting
Through national & international collaboration we can bring many local and regional efforts together to address global concerns
