NECCTON Develops New Algorithms to Advance the Copernicus Marine Service

NECCTON scientists have developed a new set of algorithms designed to improve how the Copernicus Marine Service combines numerical ocean models with real‑world data. These tools include model emulators, methods to fill gaps in satellite and in‑situ observations, techniques for correcting model biases, and approaches tailored to biological datasets such as zooplankton and fish. All code is openly shared through the project’s GitHub organisation, following common standards to ensure transparency and easy reuse by the marine science community. Together, these advances will help create more accurate and data‑rich ocean products for monitoring and managing marine environments.

The full report is publicly available here: NECCTON Software repository of ML and DA algorithms of T4.2.1-T4.4.3 (D4.3)
