CMEMS

Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides open, free, regular and systematic reference data on the blue (physical), white (sea ice), and green (biogeochemical) marine environment state as well as data on variability and dynamics across the global ocean and European seas. 

CDSE data catalogue provides resources for water analysis in all dimensions, from local to global and from visible to radar techniques. Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) products available via CDSE platform are particularly dedicated to water application. The article below examines the variety of these products and presents the  opportunities they offer. 

Product details:


Two main kinds of products are offered by CDSE: Near Real Time (NRT) and Reprocessed including climate analysis (REP).
