Information
The Copernicus Marine Service is the marine component of the Copernicus Programme of the European Union. It provides free, regular and systematic authoritative information on the state of the Blue (physical), White (sea ice) and Green (biogeochemical) ocean, on a global and regional scale. It is implemented by Mercator Ocean International, a non-profit organisation providing ocean science-based services of general interest focused on the conservation and the sustainable use of the ocean, seas and marine resources (UN SDG14). The multi-national organisation develops complex ocean simulation systems (numerical models) based on Ocean Observation data (satellite and InSitu) that are able to describe, analyse and forecast the state of the ocean at any given time, at the surface or at depth, on a global scale or for a specific zone, in real-time or delayed mode.
The Copernicus Marine Service is designed to serve EU policies and International legal Commitments related to Ocean Governance, to cater for the needs of society at large for global ocean knowledge and to boost the Blue Economy across all maritime sectors by providing free-of-charge state-of-the-art ocean data and information.
