Ocean observations and indicators for climate and assessments
Focus and Objectives
The overarching goal of ObsSea4Clim is to deliver an improved framework for nations’ contributions to European ocean observations of EOV/ECVs (Essential Ocean Variables/Essential Climate Variables) in support of regional and global climate assessments, projections and actionable indicators for sustainable development.
The objectives of ObsSea4Clim are:
- To develop and deliver new ocean indicators for sustainable development, provide improved EOV/ECVs and evolve European ocean observing
- To advance the use of EOV and ECVs for improved Earth System Models (ESM) and reduce uncertainty in climate projections
- To create an interoperable data ecosystem serving multidisciplinary needs
- To develop best practices and standards for interoperable in-situ and satellite observing
- To place Europe in the forefront of the global coordination of the broader ocean-climate nexus
