The main objective of the work was to build an early warning system that provides accurate and detailed weather forecasts and disseminates the corresponding warnings. In order to meet this objective, a solid partnership was anticipated, comprising scientific groups and end-users from all four EU countries participating in ARCHIMED. The scientific partners have built and demonstrated a system capable of producing detailed weather forecasts, based on observations (mainly from satellites since a major part of ARCHIMED domain is covered by the sea) as well as from high-resolution weather and wave models. In collaboration with the end-users of the project (regional authorities and civil defense agencies) the weather and wave forecasts have been tailored according to their specific needs and the final warning system has been constructed and operated, disseminating the warnings to them
