E-SURFMAR
Surface Marine Observation Programme Part of the Eumetnet Composite Observation System (EUCOS) Optional: 17 participant members only
Objectives to coordinate, optimise and progressively integrate the European activities for surface observations over the sea in support of Numerical Weather Predictions
Two components Conventionnels Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS) or ships equipped with Automated Weather Stations (S-AWS) Drifting or moored Data Buoys

EUCOS Roadmap EUCOS objectives extended to Climate and 1-km scale NWP model requirements during 2013-2020
Brainstorming started to setup a Roadmap for Observations Which major developments which should be considered in individual programmes ? What kind of scientific studies should be conducted ? Which possible observation experiments of interest should be financially supported ?
Proposals by E-SURFMAR Densifying surface marine obs. in coastal areas and inland seas Cooperation with oceanographers for moored buoy networks Deployment of numerous cost-effective AWS on ships Use of AIS to report their observations (collaboration with IMO) Considering the possiblity to make future standard GTS reporting S-AWS mandatory on ships of a certain tonnage (as AIS) Is this utopian ?

From last STAC meeting
Eumetnet Secretariat proposed to have three types of advisory bodies in the future:
Working Groups Programme or Project Advisory Groups Expert Teams
STAC agreed to combine PAG and ET under the single definition of « Expert Team ». Expert Teams shall be established for a specific duration and will be reviewed after 2 years (?).
Expert Teams shall report to the Capability Programme Managers (CPMs) or the Programme Managers (PMs)
Current TAGs shall be established as Expert Teams in the future
Question: Shall E-SURFMAR continue to be fitted with two Expert Teams ?

Data Buoys
E-SURFMAR
operates a network of about 100 drifting buoys measuring air pressure and sea surface temperature in the North Atlantic and which make their data available in real time onto the Global Telecommunication System of WMO
coordinates the moored buoys activities of EUMETNET members and most especially the UK, Irish and French networks of K-pattern buoys
financially and technically supports the operation of 4 moored buoys as a baseline for the calibration and the validation of satellite-derived wind and wave observations
invites and helps non-EUMETNET members operating moored buoy networks in European waters to report their data onto the GTS as support to the World Weather Watch… and monitors these data

Number of operating buoys
More upgraded buoys (Argos) than Iridium (fully funded by the programme)due to…
- increasing lifetime for Argos buoys - delays in the delivery of Iridium buoys
Percentage of reports sent onto theGTS less than 50 minutes after the observation
- influence of Iridium buoys then - improvements at Argos for upgraded buoys
Long term target : 90%
Short term target : 70%

EUCOS Moored Buoys
K5, M6 and Lion buoys operational. Lion buoy was visited and serviced on the 2nd of March 2010. This buoy reports omnidirectional wavespectra in WAVEOB. K5 is equipped with an experimental system to report directional wave spectra.
Cabo silleiro went adrift twice due to fishermen: beginning of March 2010 then beginning of May. Each time, it took several weeks to re-moor it. In September, the buoy was moored in a new position, more west and in deeper sea. Risks of collisions with fishing boats should be minimized there.
