Checkpoints

Sea-basin Checkpoints


Between 2013 and 2018, a series of EMODnet Sea-basin Checkpoints assessed the quality of the current observation monitoring data at the level of the regional sea basins. By testing the data against specific end-user challenges, the checkpoints evaluated how well the monitoring systems and data collection frameworks provided data to meet the needs of users. In doing so, data gaps and duplications as well as significant bottlenecks were highlighted.
