Partners & capacities

The EuroGO-SHIP consortium has a broad range of expertise, including technical skill in making observations at sea, contributions to the GO-SHIP library of best practice, as well as leadership in the international ocean best practice effort. It also includes leaders and members of international cooperation networks, such as International GO-SHIP and the regional hydrography observing systems of ICES and MonGOOS, as well as those actively involved in Black Sea observing.

EuroGO-SHIP partners also include membership from the European Research Infrastructure community -namely ICOS and Eurofleets– and support from those that rely on GO-SHIP hydrography (such as EuroArgo). The consortium also has experts in data handling, including metadata and real-time data, as well as representation from key groups in the European data system, such as EMODnet, Copernicus Marine, and SeaDataNet, which provide in situ data to end users. With a focus on end users and data usability, it also includes experts in secondary quality control (e.g., the Global Ocean Data Analysis Product – GLODAP) and scientific research users via International GO-SHIP. The consortium also has ongoing collaborations with the operational modelling, satellite calibration and validation and fisheries (e.g., ICES) communities, who EuroGO-SHIP will seek to engage and consult throughout the project.
