FLAG PROJECTS
RAIA
Oceanic Observatory of the Iberian Margin
Development of an ocean observatory made up of a cross-frontier
infrastructure of ocean observation and by an extensive network of
operational oceanography based on the monitoring and prediction
of the ocean environment through the use of numerical models
and the construction and development of new oceanographic-
meteorological platforms.
