    Brief

    This opportunity involves developing and validating an extended AMM7 (Atlantic Margin Model) configuration for regional climate simulations focused on the Northwest European Continental shelf. The project seeks to create a robust, fit-for-purpose model implementation that can accurately represent oceanographic processes and conditions in this region. Suppliers should have expertise in ocean modelling, climate simulation systems, and validation methodologies. The deliverable will support improved understanding of regional ocean dynamics, climate impacts, and environmental monitoring capabilities for UK coastal and shelf waters.
