In times of sea-level rise and global warming, it is important to know exactly what processes take place around the coast and in the ocean. However, there are still major gaps in ocean observing. An international consortium of 55 partners organized through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eurosea.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (abre en una nueva pesta\u00f1a)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EuroSea<\/a> project is set to change this. EU funding of 12.6 million Euros will enable this major collaboration effort. The project, coordinated at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, will kick off in Brussels this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oceans provide us with food and oxygen. They are trade routes and\nclimate buffers. They serve as places for recreation, but often also as waste\ndumps. Storms, rising sea levels, tidal waves and pollution threaten people and\necosystems along the coasts. This is particularly true of Europe with its vast\npopulated coastlines, marginal seas, gulfs and bays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, despite the immense importance of the oceans, there are still major\ngaps in our knowledge of the ocean interior, due to missing or insufficiently\nlinked ocean observations. Such knowledge gaps make it difficult to assess the\npresent ocean status, as well as predict how best to plan for future developments\nfor a sustainable use of the oceans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the EuroSea project, an international consortium of 55 partners\nhas now joined forces with the aim to significantly improve ocean observation\nin Europe and beyond. The European Union is funding the project with a total of\n12.6 million euros until 2023. Kicking off the project, 80 researchers and\nguests from politics and industry will meet at the opening conference at the\nRoyal Belgium Institute for Natural Science (RBINS) in Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The aim of the project is to better combine existing capacities in the European marine observing system, to fill existing gaps and to make the resulting data and information available to users more easily,&#8221; says coordinator Dr.Toste Tanhua from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geomar.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (abre en una nueva pesta\u00f1a)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GEOMAR<\/a> Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EuroSea consortium partners are scientific institutions, and non-public partners from 13 European countries, Brazil and Canada. In addition, intergovernmental organisations and networks, such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC-UNESCO), the European Marine Board and the European part of the Global Ocean Observing System (<a href=\"http:\/\/eurogoos.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (abre en una nueva pesta\u00f1a)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EuroGOOS<\/a>) are supporting the project. Furthermore, partners from industry, for example those involved in the development of ocean observing technologies and services beyond the project are contributing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides improving direct (or in-situ) ocean measurements, EuroSea\nfocuses on the quality and usability of collective data, and on systems using\nthe data for operational forecast services. &#8220;To this end, we are working\nclosely with existing marine databases and data infrastructures and the EU Blue-Cloud\nproject to improve capabilities in these areas and facilitate efficient data\nexchange,&#8221; stresses the project coordinator. The ocean data should comply\nwith the FAIR standard (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable).\n&#8220;Unfortunately, this is not always the case&#8221; says Dr. Tanhua.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project builds on its predecessor AtlantOS which aims to establish\nan integrated Atlantic Ocean observing system to improve ocean observations for\nthe entire Atlantic region. EuroSea will continue this project\u2019s work by\nfocusing on the European seas, including the Mediterranean Sea, and its\nneighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AZTI is mainly involved for leading the coordination of the European\nHigh Frequency (HF) Radars network, one of the main components of the costal observing\nsystem. As in the Basque Coastal Observing System operated by Euskalmet and\nAZTI, HF Radars have shown to be a cost-efficient tool to monitor coastal\nregions. They are mainly used to measure ocean surface current fields for\nvarious applications like search and rescue, oil spill monitoring, marine\ntraffic information and improvement of numerical circulation models. AZTI will\nalso contribute into actions dealing with the integration of data from\ndifferent observing platforms (in situ and Satellite).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We want to pave the way for a sustained ocean observing system\nthat not only provides researchers, but also users such as fisheries,\naquaculture, coastal protection, offshore energy generation and ultimately the\npublic with the information they need and demand. In doing so, we are also\ncontributing to the United Nations&#8217; Sustainable Development Goals, the UN\nDecade for Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, and the G7 Initiative\nFuture of the Seas and Oceans,&#8221; Dr. Tanhua summarizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong>This project has received funding from the\nEuropean Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant\nagreement No 862626.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/radar_hf-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/radar_hf-002.jpg 768w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/radar_hf-002-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/radar_hf-002-450x338.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>High Frecuency Coastal Radar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new EU project funded with 12m Euros will provide new insight into making ocean observation more efficient 28 November 2019 \/ Kiel.
