OSMOSIS
Developing multi-satellite products for marine resource management
The SEAPODYM micronekton model is forced by three key variables: the temperature and the ocean currents integrated through pelagic layers between 0 and 1000m and the vertically integrated primary production. T
he aim of this project was to test the sensitivity of the model to its forcing, in particular to use a new multi-satellite product with improved ocean currents and primary production developed from past and present ESA and non-ESA Earth Observation missions.
