This work presents the last version of the operational analysis and forecasting system of the physical variables and evolution plans in the Black Sea, as developed in the framework of the Copernicus Marine Service for the Black Sea Monitoring and Forecasting Centre. 

The modelling system consists of NEMO v4.0 hydrodynamical model at 1/40º resolution in horizontal and 121 vertical levels, online coupled to OceanVar for the assimilation of available insitu and satellite observations. Recently, the system has been upgraded to handle the operational historical and forecasting discharge data for the Danube River as provided by the NIHWM (Romania). Major details on the model setup and product are also available at https://resources.marine.copernicus.eu/product-detail/BLKSEA_ANALYSISFORECAST_PHY_007_001/INFORMATION. 

This contribution will focus on the description of the Black Sea Physics production unit operational capacity and on the accuracy of the delivered products by computing relevant metrics for analysis fields and forecasting skills.
