Data for the UN Ocean Decade – A European focus

EUMETSAT, one of the main contributors to Copernicus, the Earth Observation component of the European Union's Space Programme, is jointly organising a series of ocean webinars in partnership with the Copernicus Marine Service (implemented by Mercator Ocean International), the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet), the ECOP Programme, and the UN Ocean Decade. The first webinar will introduce Earth observation, in situ, and modelled marine data, how to access them through the European platforms of Copernicus, the Copernicus Marine Service, EUMETSAT, and EMODnet, and their possible applications. These webinars will focus on how European initiatives and data from Copernicus and other data sources can contribute to the UN Ocean Decade goals of sustainable use and protection of our oceans.
