n) A positive momentum to move from MyOcean to MyOcean2

• a GMES Marine Service– for ocean monitoring and forecasting

• 1000 users– User #1000 registered on Friday 23 March 2012

• 1000 requests/day– 30 000 requests in January 2012 and in February 2012

2. What is MyOcean2

MyOcean2

• 2,5 year project (April 2012 – September 2014), with 60 partners, and a EU Grant of 28 M€

• A continuation of MyOcean1 focussing further on the service to users, and with improvements based on MyOcean experience

• Some priorities: continuous updates in the catalogue, quality assessment, reanalyses & multi-year assessment, user uptake

3. What is ECOMFEuropean Centre for Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting

What is ECOMF?

This is the organization delivering the ocean monitoring and forecasting component of the GMES Marine Service

ECOMF

Why do we need ECOMF?For implementing a sustainable provision scheme for

the Ocean Monitoring & Forecasting component of the GMES Marine Service

Capitalizing on the achievements of MyOcean and previous projects• More than 10 years needed for reaching the current state…, this would have

– and will – not be possible without GMESCapitalizing on the Investments on observation infrastructure• Have been done & will continue for space systems• Must be consolidated for in-situ systems• This necessarily leads to a “MyOcean-like” service

Whatever the future configuration of GMES will be,there is need for a solid service infrastructure

and organization to be ready by 2014

The components of the European Operational Oceanography Infrastructure

ECOMF

A “European Centre”taking care of the core service part, pooling high level investments, simplifying interfaces, delivering common-need data

Effort on ”ECOMF”A “European community

of marine centres”, adding value for users, collecting observations, delivering services, taking care of

national interests, sharing skills and practices

… and core components…

ECOMF timeframe…

• 2011: ECOMF emerging– Signal sent to European stakeholders: the ECOMF process is kicked-off– MoU signed by 14 key partners for ECOMF preparation

• 2012: ECOMF design– Scope, service content, implementation options, legal form, – Links/partnerships with stakeholders, funding schemes, governance

• 2013: ECOMF implementation– Assuming that GMES funding scheme is known, progressive implementation of ECOMF

; arrangements with EC and stakeholders

• 2014: ECOMF ready for transition– End of MyOcean2, transition to GMES operations

2011, kick-off

2012, design

2013, implement.

2014, ready

1st round: the MoU between the core production partners

Signed on 10 Feb 2014, by 14 MyOcean key partnersfor preparing the ECOMF definition

Short-term (2012) actions

– Define the key elements of ECOMF:

• Functionalities, architecture, legal status, governance, funding approach

• Several implementation options to be considered

– Link with European & national stakeholders

• Discussions based on ECOMF implementation options

• Partnerships to be sought

2nd round: Partnership(s)for the full value chain…

• Partnership(s) with National Centres – including the Downscaling Forecasting Centres of ROOSES– Form a group of “strategic partners” with the national centres

leading operational oceanography in Member States – Goal: Ensure the necessary links between Member States

Centres and ECOMF, and the national uptake of the service – Proposition: hold a “strategic partners” meeting in fall 2012

2nd round: Partnershipsfor the full value chain…

• Partnerships with European stakeholders– Link with Eumetsat for space observations, EEA &

EuroGOOS for in situ observations, EuroGOOS for European partnerships in operational oceanography

– Goal: ensure the necessary links upstream with observation providersdownstream with centres and projects

– Bilateral meetings in 2012

Conclusion, EUMETSAT and us

6 main issues

1. [upstream] EUMETSAT observation data for MyOcean

2. [downstream] EUMETSAT & MyOcean users

3. [service] EUMETSAT & marine component of climate

EUMETSAT observations for the GMES Marine Service

EUMETSAT missions feed the MyOcean service• Jason-2 derived Sea Surface Topography• MSG & EPS derived SST, Sea Ice & Surface Winds

Future missions operated by EUMETSAT will continue• Jason series for Sea Surface Topography• Sentinel-3 for Sea Surface Topography, SST, ocean color, …• MTG & post-EPS for SST, Sea Ice, Winds…

Need to consolidate the EUMETSAT & MyOcean/ECOMF respective scopes of activities (level of processing,

mono- & multi-sensor, cal/val, ….)

EUMETSAT in MyOcean review & guidance

MyOcean Review Process• MyOcean Review Process inspired by EUMETSAT processes • Lorenzo Sarlo (co-chair) & Frederic Gasiglia (member) of the MyOcean Review

Board: thanks for the strong & more than helpful involvement

MyOcean Advisory Committee• Lorenzo Sarlo & Paul Counet as EUMETSAT representatives

We hope that it will continue for MyOcean2Importance of MyOcean2 Review Process
