About

The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is the European Commission (EC) in situ marine data service of the EC Directorate-General Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (EC DG MARE) and funded by the European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund. EMODnet Physics is one of the seven thematic lots of the European Marine Observation and Data Network. It does not run any observations platform by itself, but metadata and data from key European oceanographic repositories and marine infrastructures are integrated with other available physics data sources to provide the most comprehensive and diverse in situ ocean physics data service and catalogue for Europe and beyond. The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) is the European Commission (EC) in situ marine data service of the EC Directorate-General Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (EC DG MARE) and funded by the European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund. EMODnet is the in situ component of the European Digital Twin Ocean and provides its full service offer on the EDITO data lake on the cloud, together with Copernicus Marine earth observation data.

Type & number of data sets

The available parameters cover temperature, salinity and current profile, sea level trends, wave height and period, wind speed and direction, water turbidity, underwater noise, river flow and sea-ice coverage.

Discovery and Access Mechanisms

There are may tools to discover the EMODnet Physics data:

• EMODnet GeoViewer
• EMODnet ERDDAP API
• EMODnet GeoNetwork Catalogue
• OGC APIs and widgets API

Data Acess Policy 

All EMODnet data products are open access.

Function in Blue-Cloud

The focus for the Blue-Cloud DD&AS federation will be on the output of the EMODnet Physics ERRDAP services. Moreover, the EMODnet Physics output contains several additional attributes which might be used to expand the Blue-Cloud metadata set.
