The MINKE project aims to integrate key European marine metrology research infrastructures to coordinate their use and development. It will identify essential ocean variables to monitor like temperature, salinity, and pollutants. The project will adopt a framework to improve data quality by minimizing measurement errors, incomplete data, and timeliness of observations. It will provide transnational access to calibration laboratories and ocean observatories. It will also offer virtual access to services for participatory monitoring using low-cost technologies. The goal is to improve ocean observations to better understand issues like climate change, biodiversity, and marine litter.

- 4. The project PROGRAMME: H2020-EU.1.4.1.2. - Integrating and opening existing national and regional research infrastructures of European interest CALL: INFRAIA-02-2020-1 . Topic: Integrating Activities for Starting Communities Integrating Activities shall combine, in a closely co-ordinated manner 3 types of activities: • Networking Activities (NA), to foster a culture of co-operation between research infrastructures, scientific communities, industries and other stakeholders as appropriate, and to help develop a more efficient and attractive European Research Area; • Trans-national Access (TNA) or Virtual Access (VA) Activities, to support scientific communities in their access to the identified key research infrastructures; • Joint Research Activities (JRA), to improve, in quality and/or quantity, the integrated services provided at European level by the infrastructures.
- 5. The main goals MINKE will integrate key European Marine Metrology Research Infrastructures, to coordinate their use and development and propose an innovative framework of quality of oceanographic data What to measure ? Identifying the Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) as the key parameters to monitor How to measure them ? Adopting a multidimensional framework of data quality: • Accuracy: Minimising the measurement errors • Completeness: Minimising the interpolation errors • Timeliness: Providing the observations as fast as requiered Purpose: To retrieve (at least) the large scale features, both temporal and spatial, of the EOVs

- 13. Services Transnational access will support a wide range of users by giving free of charge access to high- quality mature infrastructures and support services at unique multi-disciplinary metrological laboratories and validation facilities. Transnational Access (TNA) The MINKE TNA package includes: 4 active in-situ marines observing “installations” for testing and/or validating equipment in the field. The in-situ “installations” comprise: one underwater coastal cabled observatory, one fixed-point marine observatory, one instrumented coastal buoy and one group of five FerryBox systems operating in different European sea areas. 9 established laboratories for calibrating instruments and investigating technology, some with metrology-level capabilities for specific marine measures.
