This In Situ delayed mode product integrates the best available version of in situ oxygen, chlorophyll / fluorescence and nutrients data. The latest version of Copernicus delayed-mode BGC (bio-geo-chemical) product is also distributed from Copernicus Marine catalogue.

Measurements by drifting surface buoys. This system is a drifting mooring consisting of a surface buoy fastened to a floating anchor by a cable (trip line, buoy rope). It has to monitor as precisely as possible the water volume in which the floating anchor is immersed. The surface buoys are traced by Argos satellites.

The MAGEST observation network aims to continuously monitor the physico-chemical quality of the waters of the estuaries of Northern Aquitaine. In 2023, this regional network is composed of 12 stations.

The CORIOLIS data center contributes to the “in situ observations” of operational oceanography, in addition to ocean surface measurements performed using equipment installed on satellites. This contribution is accomplished through the creation of permanent and lasting networks from ships or moored or drifting autonomous systems.
