Nordic Network on Multi-scale Modelling of Atmospheric Environment MUSCATEN




NetFAM unites twenty Nordic, Baltic and French meteorological institutes from universities and weather services to a research and training network funded by



(Nordic Research Board):

"Nordic Network of Fine-scale Atmospheric Modelling (NetFAM) aims at complex and comprehensive promotion of fine-scale atmospheric modeling of Nordic-Baltic regional weather and climate processes and man-environment interactions, with strong emphasis on specific qualities of Nordic natural environment and the Baltic Sea influence. To achieve these objectives, the network is designed to cover the whole chain from basic research and researcher training towards the application of the models. The network shares modelling tools, observational and physiographic data, computing and educational resources, in order to strengthen the expertise in the area of fine-scale atmospheric modelling in the Nordic countries and adjacent areas around the Baltic Sea.
