A connected view of Irish waters
EirOOS integrates marine monitoring platforms across Ireland to provide coordinated information about conditions in Irish waters and the Northeast Atlantic.
Integrated ocean observing infrastructure
EirOOS combines data from buoys, gliders, moorings, tide gauges, and research surveys into a coordinated national system. It supports research on:
- ocean circulation and water mass variability
- ocean carbon uptake and biogeochemistry
- sea-level change and climate impacts
Addressing key knowledge gaps
EirOOS improves the evidence available through:
- coverage of Essential Ocean and Climate Variables
- higher spatial and temporal data resolution
- long-term sustained observations
Understanding Ireland’s ocean
EirOOS connects data from across Ireland’s waters to show:
- how ocean conditions change over time
- how offshore processes influence the coast
- how climate affects the marine environment
The bigger picture
EirOOS brings together multiple data sources to support clear reporting on:
- climate change and ocean warming
- storms and coastal impacts
- long-term changes in the Atlantic
