Project
Climate and Marine Production (CAMP)
Climate and Marine Production (CAMP) is improving our understanding of ocean productivity and how it responds to climate change by enhancing marine ecosystem and biogeochemical models.
The project combines satellite observations, field measurements, artificial intelligence (AI), and data assimilation techniques to reduce uncertainties in model predictions and improve confidence in projections of future ocean change.
Led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory in partnership with Mercator Ocean International and the UK Met Office, CAMP brings together Earth observation scientists and modellers to strengthen the use of satellite-derived climate data in marine ecosystem modelling. By refining key model parameters and testing them across multiple ecosystem models, the project aims to improve the accuracy of historical reconstructions and future projections of marine primary production.
The project will help close the gap between observations and model outputs, providing new insights into ecosystem responses to climate change and supporting more reliable climate assessments and policy decisions.
