MyOcean II

A sustainable ocean monitoring and forecasting system


“MyOcean II” was a project supported by the European Union that ran until September 2014. The main objective was the operation of an observational and forecasting system for maritime waters. The users of MyOcean II data stem from various sectors: shipping safety, ocean resources, marine and coastal protection as well as from climate and weather forecasting.

Data for the project was recorded using two optical measurement instruments (MODIS and VIIRS) on board a satellite. The department Optical Oceanography is responsible for developing a mathematical method regionally adapted for the Baltic Sea for analysing this recorded satellite data.

Further information can be found on the Copernicus website.
