====== Educational material for existing operational oceanographic products and services ======  
==ECOOP (European COastal-shelf sea OPerational observing and forecasting system)==

These wiki pages are intended to collect all of the scientific and technical documentation on operational oceanographic products
and services in order to organize a systematic description for educational and training purposes.
The material includes:

  - Specification of operational oceanographic products from all the European coastal/shelf forecasting systems;
  - Available services with technical details on system functions;
  - Product formats, data exchange protocols and archiving systems;
  - Quality control and verification procedures for achieving ECOOP standards;
  - Best practice in the field of ocean forecasting;
  - [[Software tools for visualizing and downloading operational products.]]
  

Training material is organized according to the table below.
For each area the pages related to observational material may be accessed (when available) clicking on **OBS** and those related to modelling material clicking on **MOD**.
For each macro-area and for each sub-area information is to be found according to the following templates ([[modelling:template|mod.]], [[observational:template|obs.]]).
