Maintenance, servicing, and further development of the NinJo meteorological workstation system

To fulfill its tasks in the field of weather forecasting and warning services, the German Weather Service, together with international partners, develops and operates extensive software systems for storing, evaluating, visualizing, and creating meteorological data and products.
The NinJo system was developed as part of an international consortium led by the German Weather Service and is used operationally worldwide by the German Weather Service, the ZGeoBw of the German Armed Forces, and various weather services in other countries (e.g., Denmark, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, South Africa) and operated on more than 1,000 client workstations.
Since 2002, the international project team has been continuously supported by EBP Deutschland GmbH through the EuMetSys consortium, in which EBP Deutschland GmbH plays a leading role. The support services cover the following areas:
