New developments and complementarity between European Digital Twin Ocean and Copernicus Marine Service.

The European Commission launched the European Digital Twin of the Ocean (EDITO) at the One Ocean Summit in Brest, France, in February 2022. The EU is building the infrastructure backbone of EDITO through two projects (EDITO-Model Lab and EDITO-Infra) finishing respectively beginning and end of 2025 and with a continuity until 2028 with EDITO2. This is aligned with Copernicus Marine Service where a strong connection with EDITO will be managed during the new starting phase (2025-2028). This presentation will focus on the main achievements and demonstration of global ocean model component development and applications that are already available on the EDITO platform such as the demonstration of global 3km resolution forecasting system (GLO36), the global forecasting system based on machine learning (GLONET) and validation and process-oriented diagnostics.
