Short summary
COSYNA (Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas) pursued various activities for stakeholder interaction. The steps, e.g. initial survey, external evaluation, interviews and workshops with stakeholders from the offshore wind sector, are integrated into the COSYNA product life cycle outlined here and exemplified for the product Surface Current Fields. By sharing first-hand experiences this study contributes to the emerging knowledge on integration of coastal research and end users.
