DIGITAL TWIN EARTH PRECURSORS – OCEANS

Considering the long-term goal for Digital Twin Ocean (DTO) of being a virtual representation of the marine environment including all its known features and dynamics, the DTO-p project proposes to:

• Define a concept of a DTO, implement and demonstrate to a relevant stakeholder community and ESA;
• Create a solid scientific and technical basis upon which the Destination Earth vision proposed by the EU can be realized
• Explain and simulate two very distinct ocean phenomena in two very contrasting marine basins: marine heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea and sea ice breaking in the Arctic Ocean.
