A Personal Vision on the Research Directions in Military Meteo-Oceanography

Summary/Abstract: Military meteorography is a fundamental component of applied maritime and military security sciences, integrating marine meteorology and physical oceanography to support decision-making and operative actions in naval theatres. In the context of ongoing climate change, technological progress, and increasing strategic interest in the maritime environment, military weather and oceanography research are experiencing an accelerated and dynamic development. This paper offers a personal, although scientifically based perspective on the research directions in military oceanography and meteorology, from the point of view of the author’s experience in the field, as well as on the implications of these directions on the safety and efficiency of naval operations. The main purpose of the study is to identify and structure relevant research directions in military weather-oceanography, given the current geopolitical context. At the same time, it stresses the need to align national research with NATO trends and standards, as well as the importance of adopting a proactive attitude towards climate change and hybrid threats targeting the Black Sea region.
