Two of the six planned 'Thematic Assembly Centres' will build on ESA's Medspiration and GlobColour projects, which covered, respectively, sea-surface temperature and ocean colour. Both are described in companion articles in this issue. The services will make full use of instruments aboard ESA's Envisat. Their successors on the Sentinel-3 satellite series will ensure operational space oceanography services for the two decades starting in 2012.
