⇒ SOCIB : Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System
Browse by
The Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System (SOCIB) is a Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructure (ICTS, for its acronym in Spanish), involving the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC, for its acronym in Spanish), and the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands. Located in Parc Bit, Palma, it has a multidisciplinary team of 44 people working with a shared goal: to advance knowledge, understanding and sustainable management of the global ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. To this end, SOCIB operates an observing and forecasting system that continuously monitors the western Mediterranean, collecting data through multiple platforms, including high-frequency coastal radars, integral beach monitoring systems, autonomous underwater gliders, Lagrangian observation platforms (ARGO profilers and surface drifting buoys), oceanographic buoys, meteorological and sea level stations, and the Research Vessel (R/V SOCIB).
The ocean data collected [which is of strategic value in marine research] can be consulted in real time and in open access through the institutional repository of the SOCIB, https://www.socib.es/
