The aim of Marine-EO procurement is to develop, test and validate a bundle of innovative EO downstream services bringing incremental or radical innovations in the field of maritime awareness leveraging on the existing Copernicus services (i.e. CMEMS, Security) and other products from the Copernicus portfolio. The innovative EO downstream services are divided in 2 thematic areas: (i) Thematic Area 1: Copernicus marine environment monitoring and climate change (SATOCEAN service); (ii) Thematic Area 2: Copernicus security (SATSURVEILLANCE service)
27 months from 15/06/2018 to 15/09/2020
General aims
The aim of Marine-EO procurement is to develop, test and validate a bundle of innovative EO downstream services bringing incremental or radical innovations in the field of maritime awareness leveraging on the existing Copernicus services (i.e. CMEMS, Security) and other products from the Copernicus portfolio. In addition, a series of “support” services will standardize the way that EO is used for maritime awareness with regards to operational, technological, semantic and legal interoperability issues. The Marine-EO procurement seeks to cover the sea-basins of Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Arctic, by adapting Copernicus data and information in order to meet the demand of the buyers group.

Expected results
Development of demand-driven EO-based services, adopted on open standards, bringing incremental or radical innovations in the field of maritime awareness and leveraging on the existing Copernicus Services and other products from the Copernicus portfolio.
Activity
CMCC will develop high resolution models for physics, waves and biogeochemistry in the areas of interest, nested into CMEMS models. Moreover, CMCC will develop a Web Map Service for the gathering and visualization of meteo-oceanographic data and observations in the same areas.
