• From the University of Algarve it is possible to access to: COASTAL CIRCULATION data; water quality and current data from a permanent station at the Guadiana river estuary (SIMPATICO); a sediment database from the Iberian Atlantic margin (IBAMSED); bathymetric and current velocity data at the six tidal inlets of the Ria Formosa (Ancão, Faro-Olhão, Armona, Fuseta, Tavira and Lacém) (INLETS-D); 3D visualisation of caves (SIPCLIP); access to data from the monitoring programme in the upper Guadiana estuary (1996-2010), focused on phytoplankton composition, abundance and biomass, nutrient and light availability (IGMETS); a collection of benthic foraminiferal data from the continental shelf of the northern Gulf of Cadiz (FORAMIX); and a collection of bathymetric data from the Guadiana delta at low tide (GUADELTA).
• From the Hydrographic Institute of Portugal, the following products are available: sea state forecasts, sea agitation forecasts, navigation safety, forecasts for sports such as kitesurfing, nautical cartography catalogues, nautical publications, technical manuals, and notices to mariners.
• From the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, the following services are available: the open access digital institutional repository of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, the geoportal of the IEO’s spatial data infrastructure, the library, the ship location tool, a cartographic database, and metocean buoy data.
• From Puertos del Estado there is access to a the observing and forecasting system for the marine environment with the fundamental aim of providing to the Spanish Port System the metocean data essential for its design and operation, which allows to reduce costs and increase the efficiency, sustainability and safety of port operations. This system includes observing networks (buoys, tide gauges and high-frequency radars), prediction services (waves, sea level, currents and water temperature) and climate data sets, which describe both the current maritime climate and scenarios of change in the 21st century.
• From the University of Cádiz it is possible to access to operational forecasts in the Strait of Gibraltar with a 72-hour horizon and a graphical interface system, which integrates all the information required to manage the response to an accidental maritime spill, allowing users to manage, visualise and analyse data from different sources, UCA-OceansMap.
