The webinar gave information about the Blue-Cloud initiative and more details about the architecture and approach for the Blue-Cloud Federated Data Discovery & Access Service (DD&AS).

This webinar is the first in a series of three Blue-Cloud 2026 Training Academy webinars on FAIR Data Principles, to be held from September 2023 to March 2024.

The NPZD (Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton-Detritus) Virtual Lab was developed in the pilot Blue-Cloud project based on near real-time data of phyto- & zoo-plankton abundances and environmental parameters and tested and validated for the southern part of the North Sea.

Many types of ocean data are available from a variety of sources, but they are not all coordinated or interoperable. Integration of diverse datasets needs to be addressed and demonstrated to facilitate the creation of an effective knowledge base for applications and policy decisions.

The demonstrator “Marine Environmental Indicators” has a specific focus on data related to the marine environment, and it is led by the CMCC Foundation, in collaboration with IFREMER, 

The Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment platform provides a range of services and to facilitate orchestration of computing and analytical services for constructing, hosting and operating Virtual Labs for specific applications.
