PAP-SO cooperates with many different sites and networks
CLASS
PAP-SO is funded by the CLASS project and contributes to the delivery of knowledge and understanding of the Atlantic Ocean system that society needs to make evidence-based decisions regarding ocean management.
MAWS network
The Marine Automatic Weather Station (MAWS) network is a collaboration between the Met Office and the NOC started in 2010, resulting in a Met Office surface buoy with in situ meteorological measurements being deployed at the PAP-SO.
iFADO
The Innovation in the Framework of the Atlantic Deep Ocean (iFADO) project aims to create marine services at regional and subregional scales using the EU Atlantic Waters as a case study.
ICOS
The PAP-SO is a fixed ocean observatory within the Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) that takes ocean, atmospheric and ecosystem greenhouse gas observations into the carbon portal.
EMSO
The European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory (EMSO) aims to explore the oceans, to gain a better understanding of phenomena happening within and below them, and to explain the critical role that these phenomena play in the broader earth systems.
OceanSITES
PAP is a key observatory in the OceanSITES International Deep Ocean reference stations network.
