MyOcean is the implementation project of the GMES Marine Core Service, aiming at deploying the first concerted and integrated pan-European capacity for ocean monitoring and forecasting. The project is funded by the European Commission during the period 2009-2011. More than 60 partners from 23 countries are collaborating to build a robust European service that will supply basic oceanographic data products to public and commercial users.
MyOcean products include both observational data from satellites and in situ observing systems as well as numerical analysis and forecasting services. Recognizing the diversity of oceanographic conditions in the European seas, MyOcean takes a regional approach to production: separate product lines for the Arctic Ocean, the Northwest Shelf seas, the Iberian-Biscay-Ireland region, the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea and the global ocean are integrated into a uniform, distributed service.
The Norwegian Meteorological Institute is playing a key role in MyOcean. met.no hosts the Arctic Monitoring and Forecasting Center and the Sea Ice Thematic Assembly Center. In addition, met.no provides secondary products to the Northwest Shelf Monitoring and Forecasting Center, and supplies regional data to the Sea Surface Temperature Thematic Assembly Center. Together with the Institute of Marine Research and the Nansen Center for Environment and Remote Sensing in Bergen, met.no are responsible for development of the Arctic components of MyOcean.
