This Blue-Cloud 2026 Virtual Lab will allow users to monitor and assess the environmental status of marine areas and support the decision-making process for the ocean management. Multiple data sources will be exploited in a unique data analysis service, which will allow the online computation of indicators.
Functionalities developed in the pilot Blue-Cloud will be improved, including new data sources and new algorithms. The tool will calculate online Metocean information and indicators on the environmental quality of the Mediterranean Sea and Global Ocean, using input from Blue Data Infrastructures (BDIs), also improving uncertainty evaluation.
A set of Metocean environmental indicators will be defined according to available datasets from BDIs. For each indicator, an analysis and production workflow will be implemented, or further developed and tested, applying big data analysis methods on the multi-disciplinary data sets.
