This Master’s Thesis aims to increase the cost efficiency of the meteorological weather prediction system in the Nordic countries. To improve the cost efficiency, this study examines and presents a proposal for model of a new cooperative shared service center for weather prediction systems.
The objective of this study is to investigate a way to create an effective cooperative model for a limited area weather modelling and prediction system based on a shared service center concept. The key component in the proposed cooperation is numerical weather modelling and high performance computing which is also known as supercomputing. The outcome of this work develops a model for potential institutional participants for a shared service center based on a common weather prediction system that includes several countries.
The research process is based on a theoretical study of the shared service center concept and the examination of benchmarks of successful implementations of shared service centers by using case studies from a similar work field. After these research steps, a proposal for the model of the new cooperative shared service center is developed to suit the specific need of meteorological organizations in weather prediction systems.
