FP7 - JERICO project

Programma: FP 7

Titolo del progetto: Towards a Joint European Research Infrastructure network for Coastal Observatories

Acronimo: JERICO

Durata: 2011-2015

Budget  totale: € 6.500.000

Sito Web: www.jerico-fp7.eu

Sommario: JERICO is an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3) aiming at creating a solid and transparent organization towards an operational service for the timely, continuous and sustainable delivery of high quality environmental data and information products related to the marine environment in European coastal seas. It will promote joint research initiatives and standardization, giving a lift to the industrial sector of coastal instrumentation and monitoring services. The infrastructure organization is devoted to the automated in situ coastal and shelf seas observation, in complement to the satellites (handled by GMES) and to the automated in situ oceanic systems (such as those developed under the ESFRI projects EURO ARGO and EMSO). JERICO is intended to contribute to the international and global effort on climate change research (GEOSS), to provide coastal observations for operational oceanography, and also to perform effective environmental monitoring.
