Gather, visualize, interact, and add value to all meteorological data on a single workstation

FOR WHO?

Meteo France International has co-developed SYNERGIE with senior IT specialists and meteorologists from Météo-France (the French National Met Service).

This makes SYNERGIE the best fitted decision making tool for National Meteorological Services whatever their size and organization, from national headquarters to regional or specialized forecasting centers.

SYNERGIE includes dedicated functions for all forecasting positions:

General forecasting
Nowcasting and met support to specific events (sports ...)
Aviation Forecasting
Short, middle and long range forecasting
Marine forecasting
Forecasts for media
Training
Research
Early warnings
Military operations and mobile units

As SYNERGIE is a highly modular tool, it can also answer the specific needs of professionals from weather sensitive economic sectors such as agriculture, energy providers, as well as off-shore oil platforms.
