3. Marine Environment Monitoring Service
A 3D consistent estimation of the ocean
Observation & forecast
Reanalysis of the past – 25 years
Global and European regional seas
140 products
Ice
Sea Level
Currents
The Copernicus Marine environmental service is providing a global model of the state of ocean, describing currents, sea-surface temperature and sea-levels at global and regional levels.
A seamless model covers the full global ocean, and regional seas under the strong influence of tidal dynamics and coastal boundaries.
These data are vital for understanding the ocean and many activities such as planning of shipping routes and fisheries.
Biogeochemistry
Temperature
Salinity

4. Examples of Marine application areas
Sea-level rise (one of the main indicators for Climate Change) …
But also Climate Change…

5. An operational and quality-controlled service

6. State of the art and plans for CMEMS
Continuous service improvement based on a multi-annual R&D plan
One major release per year
Evolutions towards marine biology and coastal zone
Strong linkages with the Copernicus Climate Service
Continuous training programme
Integration into the cloud – the Copernicus DIAS initiative
All Copernicus services inside a single cloud : cloud storage and cloud processing functionalities
Additional third-party data will be available based on agreements
Back-office provided by Copernicus to support third-party front-offices development
