Blue-Cloud Project
Blue Cloud project is a founding pillar of the Digital Twin of the Ocean (DTO) offering e-infrastructure services and research virtual labs.
DIGITAL TWIN OF THE OCEAN (DTO)
The Digital Twin Ocean is a consistent, high-resolution, multi-dimensional and near real-time virtual representation of the ocean, combining ocean observations, artificial intelligence, advanced modelling operating on high-performance computers and accessible to all. The Digital Twin of the Ocean will build on existing European satellite, in situ and model data provided by Copernicus, EMODnet, and pan-European and national research infrastructures, and at the same time allow for integration of alternative data flows from Internet of Things (IoT), citizens and industry.
