Ocean Monitoring
CopernicusLAC Chile will use Copernicus Marine Services to transform its global services into regional services for Latin America and the Caribbean.
This will be done by complementing in situ data to calibrate and validate models and products covering aspects such as temperature, water salinity, sea surface height, current velocity, sea ice, nutrients, carbon, transparency, turbidity and sea surface waves, among others. We aggregate ground data and refine machine learning models to give these services greater regional accuracy and validation.
Our marine services will be underpinned by mathematical models that simulate the behaviour of the Earth’s natural systems. These require a constant flow of observations, assimilating data from satellites and in situ observations made at sea, on land or in the air to ensure accuracy and regional relevance.
