Copernicus Marine Environment Mornitoring Service
The CMEMS provides regular and systematic core reference information on the state of the physical oceans and regional seas. The observations and forecasts produced by the service support all marine applications.
The CMEMS is driven by quality and simplicity: quality of the ocean information provided to users, and simplicity of the access to information.
The service is meant for any user requesting generic information on the ocean, and especially downstream service providers who use this information as an input to their own value-added services to end-users. The CMEMS can be defined as:
An integrated Service
An Open and Free service
Providing access to a single Catalogue of products
A reliable service
A sustainable service
