2 ICOS Integrated Carbon Observing System ESFRI Research
Infrastructure for quantifying and understanding the greenhouse
gases budget of Europe and adjacent regions ICOS integrates
terrestrial, atmospheric and oceanic observations at various sites
into a coherent, high-precision dataset, managed by Thematic
Centers. 40 atmospheric stations40 ecosystem stations 10 ocean
ship-lines Long-term measurement networks dedicated to GHG:

Wrap up ICOS is a European Research Infrastructure to measure
carbon greenhouse gases Turning an emerging research infrastructure
into an operational environmental data provider is an heavy task
ICOS-INWIRE will enhance greenhouse gas data delivery by:
Developping more robust, connected sensor systems, Establishing and
implementing key methods for data transmission and processing at
Thematic Centers, Ensuring interoperability ICOS-INWIRE seeks to
better connect ICOS with its key users in Copernicus, and GEOSS
Project just started and will last for 3 years
