Abstract
The SeaDataNet pan-European infrastructure has been developed by NODCs and major research institutes from 34 countries. Over 100 marine data centres are connected and provide discovery and access to data resources for
all European researchers. Moreover, SeaDataNet is a key infrastructure driving several portals of the European Marine Observation and Data network (EMODnet), initiated by EU DG-MARE for Marine Knowledge, MSFD,
and Blue Growth. SeaDataNet complements the Copernicus Marine Environmental Monitoring Service (CMEMS), coordinated by EU DG-GROW. However, more effective and convenient access is needed to better support European
researchers. The standards, tools and services developed must be reviewed and upgraded to keep pace with demand, such as developments of new sensors, and international and IT standards. Also EMODnet and Copernicus pose extra challenges to boost performance and foster INSPIRE compliance. More data from more data providers must be made available, from European and international research projects and observing programmes.
SeaDataCloud aims at considerably advancing SeaDataNet services and increasing their usage, adopting cloud and HPC technology for bette
Goals
SeaDataCloud has the following main objectives:
1) To enhance and innovate the SeaDataNet standards, products and services offered to an expanded multi-disciplinary community
2)To promote the adoption of the protocols and standards developed for interoperability to other key downstream initiatives in the field with a perspective to expand the communities of data providers and users and exploiting synergies with relevant ESFRI infrastructures
3) To present a long-term sustainable arrangement for the integrated SeaDataNet infrastructure and network of the key data centres in Europe for in situ and remote sensing data for marine research (including coastal research) and their resources
