| Description | |
| Abstract | The aim of ESONET is to establish the basis for a marine component of GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) comprising a network of long-term, sea floor, multi-disciplinary observatories at key provinces around the European margin providing continuous vigilance in relation to geophysical, biogeochemical, oceanographic and biological phenomena.
ESONET will be focussed beyond the continental shelf edge in the ocean margin areas down to 4000m depth which are less well known than the shelf itself and generally beyond the reach of existing ocean data systems.
The geographical areas concerned in this project are the European margins - North Atlantic - Black Sea, including the Arctic Ocean. |
