The use of data from satellites (SST, altimetry, ocean colour, etc.) has grown considerably in the context of operative oceanography and systems predicting ocean conditions.

The high spatial and temporal resolution of this type of data represents a great benefit for applications such as assimilation in numerical models, short-term prediction, long-term studies of climate change, etc. There are currently many different types of data and products from different satellite systems. Each one of these has an application within certain parameters, such as temporal and spatial resolution, precision, data assessment, etc.

The aim of this project is to study the availability of different collections of metadata and satellite products that can be used both for research and operation at regional (Balearic Sea) and local levels (coastal area of the Balearic Islands) to put into practice a local data server.
