This Blue-Cloud 2026 Virtual Lab aims to develop a web application that allows users to monitor and assess the environmental status of marine areas, by performing online spatio-temporal analysis with the implemented algorithms, for selected environmental variables.
Started in the pilot phase of Blue-Cloud (2020-2022), Marine Environmental Indicators (MEI) VLab (Virtual Lab) enables users to monitor and assess the environmental status of marine areas and support the decision-making process for ocean management. Multiple data sources are integrated into a unified data analysis environment, allowing the online computation of environmental indicators through Jupyter Notebooks, for flexible and reproducible analyses, and dedicated Web Application, for intuitive and code-free access. Functionalities developed in the pilot Blue-Cloud have been improved, including new data sources (physics, biogeochemistry) and new algorithms.
