Excerpt of the introduction:
The Copernicus Marine Service provides the European Union with a world-leading capacity for monitoring and forecasting the ocean and unique capabilities to support a science-based management of the ocean and its resources. After six years of operations, the Copernicus Marine Service is recognised internationally as one of the most advanced service capacities in ocean monitoring and forecasting and is now used by about forty thousand expert services and users worldwide (see Le Traon et al. 2019). Through the development of its Ocean State Reports (OSRs) and high-level summaries, the Copernicus Marine Service conveys essential information to support policy and decision makers.
The 6th issue of the Copernicus OSR incorporates a large range of topics for the blue, white and green ocean for all European regional seas, and the global ocean over 1993–2020 with a special focus on 2020. As previous Reports, this Report is organised within four principal chapters:
- Chapter 1 provides the introduction and a synthesised overview.
- Chapter 2 includes various novel scientific analyses of the ocean state and its variability at various space and time scales.
- Chapter 3 introduces several ocean case studies with socio-economic relevance.
- Chapter 4 highlights specific events during the year 2020.
