Project Overview

HALO stands for Harmonised coordination of Atmosphere, Land and Ocean integrated projects of the GMES backbone.

HALO will coordinate the architecture and system integration for the interacting parts of the Atmosphere, Land and Ocean thematic integrated projects (IP) in GMES.

HALO is a GMES Specific Support Action (SSA).

GMES is a joint initiative of the European Commission and the European Space Agency, designed to establish a European capacity for the provision and use of operational information for Global Monitoring of Environment and Security.

HALO supports the joint transition of the following IPs to operational status within the GMES framework.

• MERSEA - the integrated project of the GMES Ocean theme.
• GEOLAND - the integrated project of the GMES Land Cover & Vegetation theme.
• GEMS - the integrated project of the GMES Atmosphere theme.
