• The Venice storm surge forecasting Office (Istituzione Centro Previsioni e Segnalazioni Maree, ICPSM) is entrusted to forecast the storm surge level in the Venice city. The forecasting tools are statistical and hydrodynamic models, both relying on the quality of the meteorological input, which is acknowledged as one of the major critical points. At present the ECMWF forecasts used to force the hydrodynamic storm surge models appear to underestimate the wind in the Adriatic Sea and, more in general, not to perform always appropriately in this basin. Furthermore the ECMWF vs scatterometer winds discrepancies are seen changing with time. To monitor the quality of the atmospheric model forecasts, a need of Near Real Time (NRT) scatterometer winds has been felt since longtime. The need of truth data and of reliable statistical comparisons over the open sea can be satisfied only by satellite borne scatterometer data. An automatic system has been set up to acquire in NRT QuikSCAT and ASCAT 25 km by 25 km wind fields over the Mediterranean Sea: this system is running since 2008. This presentation illustrates the main characteristics of the NRT and off-line products derived comparing forecast winds with the scatterometer one. Present limitations of using the NRT satellite winds as support to the operational storm surge forecasting are discussed, along with the possible studies offered by the co-located data set acquired by the system.
