Welcome to the Mersea Integrated Project website

Mersea ('Marine Environment and Security for the European Area', European project, 43 partners) aims to develop by 2008 a European system for operational monitoring and forecasting on global and regional scales of the ocean physics, bio-geochemistry and ecosystems. This ocean monitoring system is envisioned as an operational network that systematically acquires data (earth observation from satellites, in situ from ocean observing networks, and surface forcing fields from numerical weather prediction agencies) and disseminates information to serve the various user needs. The prediction time scales of interest extend from days to months. This integrated system will be the Ocean component of GMES ('Global Monitoring for Environment and Security').
