Project description
Copernicus evolution research for transitional water observation and harmonised data
European Copernicus services use satellite data to observe water quality in terms of phytoplankton, suspended sediments and coloured dissolved organic matter, in oceans, shelf-seas and lakes. The EU-funded CERTO project will undertake research and development to produce harmonised water-quality data from each Copernicus service and extend support to the large communities operating in transitional waters such as lagoons, estuaries and large rivers. CERTO plans to investigate methods to classify waters optically, improve removal of the atmospheric signal and development of indicators relevant to monitoring agencies, industry and policy stakeholders.
