Key Concepts of the Framework

• Articulated for global sustained ocean observing systems• Designed for multidisciplinary approach• Builds on existing structures and best practices• Introduces “Essential Ocean Variables” as the common

language• Assesses “readiness” based on feasibility and impact –

integrates developmental activity (R&D) into the framework• Seeks to connect requirements setting process directly to

scientific and society needs (with feedback from products)• Systems approach better defines interfaces for all actors in the

framework, promoting collaborative alignment of independent groups/communities/networks

Page 10: 4 April 2011, Exeter Framework for Ocean Observing Eric Lindstrom, OOPC Chair 4 April 2011, Exeter UK.

Aligning organizations to implement the Framework

• The team considered several approaches for governing the Framework– Characterized by Simplicity

– Based on Functional Needs

– Bring Stakeholders Together

– Nominal Operating Costs

• Requires ongoing engagement of international sponsors and other bodies

• Recommends establishment of a Framework Steering Group: representatives of international sponsors of OO’09, including WCRP– ephemeral, not permanent

– allow progress to more permanent governance structure

Deep Ocean Observing Strategy (Workshop 3/30/11-4/1/11)

High Level Outline for Strategy built on FOO

• Rationale and science drivers (Climate, Carbon Chemistry, Biodiversity/Ecosystems)

• The Essential Ocean Variables for the deep ocean• Strategy for developing/improving recommendations• Strategy for observing: existing, scalable, and potential

observing networks and programs; addressing readiness• Strategy for data management and policy• Strategy to develop information to answer the questions

(rationale and science drivers)• Priorities [phased implementation]• Strategy for integration and development (roll-out of strategy)

OceanObs’09: calls for action

(1) Calls on all nations and governments to fully implement by 2015 the initial physical and carbon global ocean observing system originally envisioned at OceanObs’99, and refined at OceanObs'09.

(2) Calls on all nations and governments to commit to the implementation and international coordination of systematic global biogeochemical and biological observations, guided by the outcomes of OceanObs’09, and taking into account regional variations in ecosystems.

OceanObs’09: calls for action(3) Invites governments and organizations to embrace a framework for

planning and moving forward with an enhanced global sustained ocean observing system over the next decade, integrating new physical, biogeochemical, biological observations while sustaining present observations. Recommendations on this Framework, considering how to best take advantage of existing structures, will be developed by an post-Conference working group of limited duration.

(4) Urges the ocean observing community to increase our efforts to achieve the needed level of timely data access, sensor readiness and standards, best practices, data management, uncertainty estimates, and integrated data set availability.

(5) Asks governments, organizations, and the ocean observing community to increase their efforts in capacity-building and education.

Working Group terms of reference

The WG will consider the outcomes and recommendations from the OceanObs’09 Conference and, in consultation with the international organizations and expert advice, shall:– Recommend a framework for moving global sustained ocean

observations forward in the next decade; integrating feasible new biogeochemical, ecosystem, and physical observations while sustaining present observations; considering how best to take advantage of existing structures,

– Foster continuing interaction between organizations that contribute towards and are in need of sustained ocean observations, and

– Report back to its sponsors late 2010.

Page 18: 4 April 2011, Exeter Framework for Ocean Observing Eric Lindstrom, OOPC Chair 4 April 2011, Exeter UK.

• 100% implementation of initial system by 2015, as called for by OceanObs'09.

• Deep ocean observations to address gap in monitoring of net transports of mass, heat and freshwater.

• Ocean reference stations - surface flux and transport stations in boundary currents to address gaps in understanding air-sea interactions in mid-latitudes and in regions where high spatial resolution is necessary; and for providing data for assimilating into weather, ocean and climate models and for assessing their products.

• Biogeochemical observations for carbon uptake and ecosystems - improve knowledge of dissolved oxygen and sea surface salinity- and the eternal note about improved coordination between satellite and in situ observations of key ECVs.

• For Ocean Observing Communities– Focus on variables allows innovation, research, while sustaining

the key output of the observing system– Clear path to selling utility of observations to high level,

articulation of societal importance– learn from best practices and principles of other observing

systems– reduce/remove duplication of measurements– cross-disciplinary synergy: shared platforms, data systems– other data available to set your data in context

Benefits of the Framework

Page 26: 4 April 2011, Exeter Framework for Ocean Observing Eric Lindstrom, OOPC Chair 4 April 2011, Exeter UK.

January 2011

• For Scientists– Measure once use many times– Consistent methods and standards– “One-stop-shop” that generates new scientific opportunities

• For Sponsoring Organizations– Improve the integration among the many independent

communities– Maximize cost savings and quality assurance– Enable the development of a wide range of information products– Development of a multi-faceted and interoperable elements – Increased utility of data within and external to the ocean

observing community– Facilitates identification of: new opportunities for integration,

redundancies, and gaps– Flexible response to future marine and societal issues

Benefits of the Framework

Page 27: 4 April 2011, Exeter Framework for Ocean Observing Eric Lindstrom, OOPC Chair 4 April 2011, Exeter UK.

January 2011

• For Society– Core contribution from the science community towards ensuring

sustained ocean “services” – Improved response to issues impacting human health and

security– Improved response to issues impacting ocean ecosystem health– Generate a strong evidence base for decision making – Focus ocean science community attention toward investments in

sustained observing where societal need is the greatest– Assist in the evolution of coordinated prioritization for emerging

societal needs

Benefits of the Framework

Page 28: 4 April 2011, Exeter Framework for Ocean Observing Eric Lindstrom, OOPC Chair 4 April 2011, Exeter UK.

• Aligning existing organizations to the framework– A central tenet of working group’s discussions was to build on

existing structures– needs sustained dialogue and negotiation amongst the

sponsors, transition over time– Framework articulates ‘best practices’ of a systematic approach,

a theory that needs to be put into practice– now in ‘roll-out’ phase soliciting feedback and input from the

sponsors (will come back to this)– Organizations need to articulate the function they would like to

play

Needs of the framework

Page 29: 4 April 2011, Exeter Framework for Ocean Observing Eric Lindstrom, OOPC Chair 4 April 2011, Exeter UK.

• Education, outreach– culture of decision-making is often distant from scientific

knowledge– developing societal understanding of role of oceans in their lives,

the ocean-related threats, ecosystem services, and human-generated stresses on the oceans

– Formal education and outreach both important

• Capacity development– Develop local scientific infrastructure to support local decision-

making– Can be mainstreamed into development strategy
