- Name: Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas
- Alternative Name: COSYNA
- Source Document Link: https://www.hereon.de/institutes/coastal_ocean_dynamics/cosyna/index.php.en
- Description: COSYNA combines observational data and recordings with remote sensing data and data assimilation models. In addition to the underwater nodes operated by the AWI, measurements are gathered by automatic land-based stations, buoys, gliders and FerryBox systems installed on ferries, as well as by research vessels. This is supplemented by coastal remote sensing using radar and satellites.
- Type: research infrastructure, simulation framework, sensor network
- Used by Disciplines: Oceanography, Remote Sensing
- Keywords: data access
