- Tomorrow will be held in Genoa interim workshop of the project "Wind and Ports"
- The initiative addresses the study of the wind in order to provide a statistical analysis and forecasting of the wind in port areas
 Tomorrow in St. George Palace, home of the Port Authority of Genoa, interim workshop will be held on the project "Wind and Ports" which deals with the study of the wind with the ultimate goal to provide usable information in a graphical format, and statistical evaluation the prediction of the wind expected in the medium in real time (24-12 hours) and short-term (one hour) in all areas of the five partner ports (Genoa, Savona, La Spezia, Livorno, Bastia), applying innovative methods and calculations it possible to consider the fields of wind up to a significant in respect of all port activities and functions.
- This information, available primarily from the Port Authority and the Harbour, which are preconditions that can allow authorities and port operators to better plan their operations and, more particularly, to engage in all those actions aimed at detecting and preventing situations of risk and define the best solutions in the different cases in order to protect the safety and physical integrity of those who work and, simultaneously, to ensure the operation (docking of ships loading and unloading , a strong wind warnings prior to the expected transport / terminal operators / port technical services) and the efficiency of vehicles and structures.
- The aim of the project "Wind and Ports" is capitalized to the current scientific findings in the study of the wind (DICAT - University of Genoa, Department of Construction Engineering, Environment, Territory and Department of Physics, Meteo France) and orient specifically to the world port, to better protect and ensure the safety activities.
- The main initiatives envisaged by the project, which has a duration of 36 months (1 July 2009 - June 30, 2012), are the analysis of the current state of the "management wind" partners in each port, the statistical analysis of speed and direction Wind in the ports, the study of the port area for the installation of stations technologically advanced detection and measurement (sonic anemometers) and their networking, the measurements and their processing, monitoring and rework of data (Simulation wind fields in the port area, formulation of algorithms and modeling of the chain), up to the anticipation and enjoyment to its affordable graphic / computer science for the benefit of Port Authorities, Coast Guard and operators.
- The partners of the initiative are the Port Authority of Genoa (project leader), Livorno Port Authority, University of Genoa - Department of Construction Engineering, the Environment and Territory (DICAT), Port Authority of Savona, La Spezia Port Authority and Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie de Bastia et de la Haute-Corse.
