The document discusses the integration of 3D models with Earth observation techniques to enhance algae forecasting services, specifically targeting cyanobacteria blooms. It details the CYMONS and EOMORES projects, funded by ESA and H2020, which aim to develop monitoring and reporting tools for ecological status and provide tailored products to users in various EU countries. The work involves complex hydrodynamic and water quality models to predict scum presence and improve forecasting accuracy through high-frequency monitoring and validation methods.
