Summary
The objective is to implement an advanced and seamless monitoring and forecasting of the ocean from global/regional to coastal scales representative of high-resolution and high-dynamics phenomena (physics, biogeochemistry) to better constrain the coastal applications and models developed at national to local level for several applications.
Detailed Call Description
The project should encourage a co-production between the EU Copernicus Marine Service global/regional service and Member State and Copernicus Participating States coastal services using digital innovation and facilities (including using Copernicus DIAS if appropriate). This requires:
- The development of improved pan-European satellite coastal observation retrievals (e.g. sea level, sea surface temperature, ocean colour, bathymetry, shoreline position, winds, waves, ice changes.), notably derived from Sentinel data, and an improved access and processing of in-situ data in the coastal zone.
- The development of improved inputs of freshwater flows and associated river inputs of particulate and dissolved organic and mineral matter and the development of standardized methods to couple hydrological models (for river run-offs) with Copernicus Marine and coastal ocean models.
- The development of improved coupling techniques between Copernicus Marine observations and modelling systems and downstream coastal observation and modelling systems operated by Member States and Copernicus Participating States including an impact assessment for key coastal applications (e.g. marine hazards, offshore operations, fishery and aquaculture, pollution) and EU policies (e.g. MSFD, WFP, MSP, CFP, Green Deal).
New technological tools should be considered and innovative solutions should be proposed for better data exploitation, processing and distribution, e.g. move to cloud and HPC computing, distributed computing, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning (e.g. for automatic feature recognition), ensemble modelling, model coupling & nesting.
