The European GMES initiative provides a political framework for future implementation of Service Centres related to environmental applications. The FP7/geoland2 project is the last brick towards the implementation of fully mature GMES Land Services, consisting of Core Mapping Services (CMS) and Core Information Services (CIS). Its goal is to build, validate and demonstrate operational processing lines and products on a user-driven basis. The Bio-geophysical Parameter (BioPar) CMS aims at setting-up operational infrastructures for providing regional, continental, and global Essential Climate Variables. The research, development, production, and validation activities of the BioPar CMS are presented with a special focus on the biophysical products available to the institutional users, and to the scientific community.
