| Summary: | As part of the JONAS (Joint Framework for Ocean Noise in the Atlantic Seas) project, PLOCAN developed a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) for noise map visualisation and data processing in the north-east Atlantic region. The main purpose of this Science Gateway is the capitalization (gathering) and dissemination of the results generated by the different JONAS Work Packages. The most important results generated by the Work packages were: noise maps of the Atlantic Arc, high-resolution noise maps of the six Jonas areas (see figure 1), Species maps, Risk maps, a risk assessment methodology, and six case studies. These maps were uploaded to a high-performance computing facility, for processing and display as required by the stakeholders. In order to cater for the different needs of the JONAS users, the JONAS VRE contains to main applications: JupyterHub and QGIS, the former is aimed at scientists and the latter to legislators and general public. Another important feature of the JONAS is its capability for processing acoustic data to generate different statistics. The area of study for the JONAS projectcomprises the North-East-Atlantic region. There are six areas of special importance to the project which are designated as Jonas 1 to 6. Theses areas are: 1- Ireland-West of England-. 2- East of France. 3- The Azores. 4- Canary Islands. 5- South of Portugal. 6- North of Spain. In this poster we will briefly describe the three main steps incurred in creating the JONAS VRE: 1- Capitalization requirements. 2- Capitalization development. 3- Legacy.
