Marine environment monitoring Objective: To provide information on the state of physical ocean and marine ecosystems for the global ocean and the European regional areas. Monitoring and forecast, plus reanalysis of past years on • Currents • Temperature • Salinity • Sea ice • Sea level • Surface winds • Biogeochemistry
Current implementation as pilot service • Outside GIO as FP7 research project MyOcean-2 • FP7-SPACE-2011: Prototype Operational Continuity for the GMES Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting Service • 59 participants from 28 different countries • 41,2 M€ total cost (28 M€ EC contribution) • From April 2012 to September 2014 • Coordinator: Mercator Océan • http://www.myocean.eu.org
