Overview
On July 3rd, 2024, from 14:00 to 15:00 CEST, we will host the Atlantic & Arctic Weekly Hour featuring the EDITO. This webinar will showcase the successful centralization of EMODnet and demonstrate how to find and download the data products of EMODnet. In addition, the role of EMODnet in the European Digital Twin of the Ocean infrastructure project (EDITOinfra) will be described and attendees will get an understanding of what functionality will be available through EDITOinfra. EDITOinfra is a joint EMODnet and Copernicus Marine project to publish their respective data products on a common Data Lake that will provide fast, robust and scalable data access and compute can be used for building Digital Twins of the Ocean.
