What is COPERNICUS?
Copernicus is the European Union's Earth Observation Programme, looking at our planet and its environment for the ultimate benefit of all European citizens. It offers information services based on satellite Earth Observation and in situ (non-space) data.
It is implemented in partnership with the Member States, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), EU Agencies and Mercator Océan.

Role of DHMZ
is a governmental institution established by the Government as the central state institution for the fields of meteorology, hydrology, climatology and air quality providing expert services for state administration bodies and public
The basic tasks: - to provide support to economic development- environment protection- to act towards the preservation of life and
material goods from natural hazards and disasters and to mitigate their consequences
was registered with the Ministry of Science, Education and
Sport as an institution carrying out scientific research in the field of natural sciences (geophysics)

Modernisation
Modernisation of the National Weather Observation Network in
Croatia − METMONIC
The key components of the project are:
Modernization and improvement of surface meteorological measurements
Modernization and improvement of upper-air meteorological measurements
Modernization and improvement of the meteorological radar network
Establishment of a measurement system of meteorological-oceanographic buoys
Enhancement and modernization of the system for receiving, processing, controlling and storing data and ensuring data availability
Improvement of the meteorological calibration laboratory
Improvements in monitoring of trace elements in the ecosystem
Expansion and Modernisation of the National Network for Continuous Air Quality
Monitoring − AirQ
The key components of the project are:
Modernisation of air quality measuring stations
Establishment of air quality modelling system
Acquisition of laboratory equipment for analysing chemical content of the atmosphere, aerosols and precipitation
Acquisition of equipment for ensuring traceability and quality of measurements
Upgrading of IT infrastructure
