    Description

    Copernicus is the European Union's Earth Observation Programme, looking at our planet and its environment for the ultimate benefit of all European citizens. It offers information services based on satellite Earth Observation and in situ (non-space) data. The vast majority of data and information delivered by the Copernicus space infrastructure and the Copernicus services are made freely available and accessible to any citizen and any organisation around the world. Copernicus services transform satellite and in situ data into value-added information by processing and analysing the data. Datasets stretching back for years and decades are comparable and searchable. Maps are created from imagery, features and anomalies are identified and statistical information is extracted. These value-adding activities are streamlined through the six thematic streams of Copernicus services: atmosphere, marine, land, climate change, security, and emergency.

    Description

    The purpose of the Caribbean Marine Protected Area Management (CaMPAM) database is to provide a resource detailing the numerous marine protected areas in the region, and to make that resource accessible to those interested in examining a number of variables. The database is a standardized repository of detailed information for Caribbean MPAs and is a resource for producing regional analyses. It is comprised of 60 fields focusing on identity, legal, biophysical and management parameters. Maps and a template for outlining management plans are included. Data are entered by the MPA management authority or authorized person and can be updated. Some MPAs with very limited data (name, location, extension) were included with the data of the World Database of Protected Area (with less fields than CaMPAM’s regional). Upon authorization by database manager, data are collected by site managers and/or scientists closely associated to the MPAs, information is stored in an archive.

    The Global Wind Atlas (GWA) is a free, web-based application developed to help policymakers, planners, and investors identify high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world, and then perform preliminary calculations. The GWA facilitates online queries and provides freely downloadable datasets based on the latest input data and modeling methodologies. They perform a generalization process on large-scale wind climate data from atmospheric re-analysis data in the ERA5 dataset from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The result is a set of generalized wind climates. Users can download high-resolution maps of the wind resource potential, for use in GIS tools.
