Ocean Sessions - Python for Marine Data - 13 January 2026
Watch the replay of this Copernicus Marine webinar showcasing how Python can be used to analyse marine data, with a focus on sea surface temperature trends under climate change in the Black Sea. The session presents practical examples using Copernicus Marine products for data access, analysis, and visualisation.
