Copernicus Observations In Situ Networking and Sustainability Specific Contract # 3 (COINS SC3)Coo

COINS S3 is an EEA-funded project whose purpose is to assist the EEA (European Environment Agency) in accomplishing the delegated activities pertaining to the cross-cutting coordination of the Copernicus in-situ component. Copernicus Services such as the Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS) and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) rely on many environmental measurements collected by data providers external to Copernicus, from ground-based, sea-borne or air-borne monitoring systems, as well as geospatial reference or ancillary data, collectively referred to as “in situ” data. The Copernicus In-Situ Component, a task entrusted to the European Environment Agency (EEA),  maps the landscape of in situ data availability, identifies data access gaps or bottlenecks, supports the provision of cross-cutting data and manages partnerships with data providers to improve access and use conditions.
