Abstract
The increasing quality and quantity of information provided by Copernicus, the European Union program funneling Earth observation and in-situ data into a broad set of information services, offer the possibility to analyze and predict coastal meteo-oceanographic processes at an unprecedented level. The combination of ocean/atmosphere/land observations made available in particular from the Sentinel 1, 2 and 3 satellites, aligned with the capabilities of an increasing number of high-resolution numerical imaging systems within the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) catalog, will enable users to get access to improved representations of the coastal environment. Moreover, by adding periodic bathymetric updating that may be derived from Sentinel images and incorporating new data assimilation routines, it will become possible to achieve a new level of analysis for coastal seas, with satellite oceanography constraining models and supporting downstream applications. The EU has recently funded the project 'Copernicus Evolution and Applications with Sentinel Enhancements and Land Effluents for Shores and Seas' (CEASELESS) under the EU initiative Horizon 2020.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
