Definition
- From May 2015, your Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) is working on an operational mode. It follows the MyOcean demonstration phase that enabled to open the service on a pre-operational mode during 6 years. A unique European Marine capability and core-knowledge base Marine data is an engine for “smart and sustainable growth” in the European Union, as stated in the recent Marine Knowledge 2020 EC Communication. The Copernicus Marine Service has been designed to respond to issues emerging in the environmental, business and scientific sectors. Using information from both satellite and in situ observations, it provides state-of-the-art analyses and forecasts daily, which offer an unprecedented capability to observe, understand and anticipate marine environment events. A catalogue of services meeting users requirements The CMEMS provides regular and systematic core reference information on the state of the physical oceans and regional seas. The observations and forecasts produced by the service support all marine applications. The CMEMS is driven by quality and simplicity: quality of the ocean information provided to users, and simplicity of the access to information. The service is meant for any user requesting generic information on the ocean, and especially downstream service providers who use this information as an input to their own value-added services to end-users. The CMEMS can be defined as: An integrated Service An Open and Free service Providing access to a single Catalogue of products A reliable service A sustainable service Detailed CMEMS Catalogue of services pdf file CMEMS Catalogue of Services (http://marine.copernicus.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/r2421_9_catalogue_services.pdf) Serving many areas of benefits Both Public and Private users need response to today’s climate and marine challenges. The CMEMS supports and contributes to the data and information tools for many domains : – Improving knowledge of the seas and oceans is one of the three cross-cutting tools of the EU’s Integrated Maritime Policy. A good knowledge of the environmental status of the marine waters is necessary, in accordance with the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), currently prepared by Member states with the support of the European Environment agency (EEA). In a general way, CMEMS brings support to European and Regional decision makers implied in European policies linked to the Marine Environment and Security (EC Diretorate, European Agencies, Regional Conventions) – Member states’ National Agencies and public bodies also rely on CMEMS for their own regional service provision, related to Pollution combat and Monitoring, Coastal Environment, Water Quality, Maritime Safety, Renewable Energies, Offshore activities… – The CMEMS delivers a core information service to any user related to 4 areas of benefits be they service providers or end-users from the commercial sector or from the R&D sector: Maritime Safety, Coastal and Marine Environment, Marine Resources, and Weather, Seasonal Forecasting and Climate activities (en)
