MyOcean delivers reliable and robust data to the European and national meteorological services. Physical parameters of the ocean's surface are used as boundary conditions for atmospheric models. Changes in sea ice extent, concentration and volume are signals used to detect global warming for instance. |
Reanalysis of physical parameters at various temporal resolutions (monthly, seasonal, yearly) Long time-series of in-situ (physical parameters) and remote sensing (SST, SLA) products Analysis and forecasts of hydrodynamic models at global and regional scales |
ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) is a MyOcean key-user.
