About Integration of coastal ocean observations along Europe

This VLab provides an environment to access, integrate and exploit observations collected along the European coastal ocean areas.

It brings together observations collected by partners of the Joint European Research Infrastructure for Coastal Observatories (JERICO-RI) with other available observation and complementary information, implementing advanced processing and post-processing facilities, analytical tools and interactive state-of-the-art visualizations that provide an unprecedented insight on key processes affecting European coastal ocean environments. It focuses on three thematic services based on key scientific and societal questions: TS#1:Transboundary processes and connectivity, TS#2: Extreme Events and TS#3: Ocean Glider; supporting researchers, Blue Economy actors, environmental and crisis response managers.
