Based on a combination of Earth observation data and in-situ measurements of biological parameters, AquaMar will offer information services on coastal water quality. By doing so, AquaMar will support European and national monitoring agencies, as well as industries operating in coastal waters.

Using a combination of both modelling and satellite analysis, the ASIMUTH project is set to respond to the demand for short-term forecasts of harmful algal events along the European Atlantic coasts. The project foresees to deliver such forecasts directly to aquaculturalists by means of mobile phone and internet technology.

Using a combination of satellite images and ecological models, which describe and predict ecological processes and distributions of organisms’ phytoplankton, nutrients and dissolved oxygen, CoBiOS intends to monitor and predict high biomass blooms in coastal waters along Europe’s Northern and Baltic shores.

Large scale oceanographic models are insufficient when predicting marine conditions in coastal zones. In coastal areas, informed environmental decision making therefore requires more targeted regional marine forecasts. FIELD_AC seeks to bridge the gap from shelf predictions to small scale local simulations of river mouth and beach-scale conditions.

MAIRES will develop new methods for mapping of sea ice, icebergs and glaciers in the Arctic. By joint analysis of high-resolution images from European and Russian satellites obtained in the last decades, it is expected to obtain significant new  knowledge about ice in the Arctic.

OPERR will develop an operational real-time river discharge model covering all of Europe. The project will provide data for monitoring and warning of flooding events, as well as data on predicted high concentrations of nutrients in flood water and will validate and apply data for shelf sea models, supporting the performance of regional ocean models.

The overall aim of SeaU is to improve the current state-of-the-art methodology for satellite based oil spill detection and monitoring, and demonstrate through deliveries to existing and new users how these improvements can contribute to the development of a next generation sustainable downstream service.

The project website will be available soon.

Polar regions are strongly affected by climate change: temperature is increasing, sea ice is retreating during the summer and land ice decreases. SIDARUS seeks to establish a set of sea ice services for climate research, marine safety and environmental monitoring in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

The OSS2015 project aims to carry out R&D activities for the development of new and innovative marine biogeochemistry products and services. The OSS2015 products and services will be derived from a combination of satellite and in-situ data as well as biological and bio-optical models.
