Copernicus in-situ component

Detailed Call Description

The areas of R&I to be explored to help addressed the above expected outcomes include:

  • Facilitation and demonstration of efficient, methodologically sound and sustainable reuse of in situ data collected during field campaigns and experiments for validation of Copernicus data and information services.
  • Development of innovative observation strategies and concepts to improve the observational capacity in selected data sparse areas. In the marine context, the gathering and qualification of acoustic observations to characterize marine ecosystems (e.g., micronekton) is an identified priority;
  • Synergistic use of complementary types of surface observations, such as pCO2 and pH observations from research vessels, ships of opportunities and Argo to improve the estimation of air/sea fluxes of CO2;
  • Application of machine learning technologies for the quality control of historic and real-time meteorological and hydrological in-situ observations;
  • Depending on the selected area(s), relevant data providers, observing network operators, research infrastructures, and sensor manufactures should be involved in the proposal to the extent possible.

    New in situ observation techniques and sensors should be considered and innovative solutions should be proposed for data collection, processing, quality control, and automation including the use of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to ensure robust and non-biased high added value datasets.
