  8. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 Marine EnviRonment and Security for Europe Area Objective of MERSEA is to provide an integrated service in support of off-shore activities, environmental management, security, sustainable use of marine resources MIM

  9. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 MERSEA research and development is composed by three main modules: • observing system and provision of data • coordinated set of monitoring and forecast systems • information products, applications and services MIM

  10. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 • MERSEA Components • Ocean Observing Systems • MERSEA is further developing the European capacity in global remote sensing data processing and distribution. • Innovative tools with multidisciplinary sensors will fill gaps existing ocean observing systems. MERSEA will integrate the collection, quality control and dissemination of relevant in situ data. MIM

  11. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 • MERSEA Components • Modelling and assimilation • MERSEA runs global high resolution models of ocean circulation (1/12°) and higher resolution models at regional and local scales. • MERSEA will contribute to progress the ecosystem models by developing modelling and assimilation models MIM

  12. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 • MERSEA Components • Marine applications • MERSEA is developing products for final users such as the offshore oil and gas industry, forecasting of sea ice and iceberg drifts and improved sea state (surface waves) forecasts notably by better incorporation of wave-current interaction modelling. MIM

  13. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 MERSEA Information Management Has to facilitate the routine real-time exchange of high quality information, data and products within the project and the provision of appriopriate information for a wide range of external users, both in real-time and delayed mode. MIM

  14. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 MERSEA Information Management • CLS (F. Blanc) • DMI (E. Buch) • ENEA (G.M.R. Manzella – WP Leader) • IFREMER (G. Maudire) • INGV (N. Pinardi) • MARIS (D. Schaap) • NERSC (J. Johannessen) • TECHWORKS (C. O’Kelly) • UNREADS (K. Haines) MIM

  15. Downscaling approach (serve the global models and the regional, shelf, coastal models) 8 main Thematic Assembling Centers 4)Global model • Satellite 5) Arctic • In Situ 6) Baltic • Forcings 7) Mediterranean 8) N.W.S Requirements: Access to large amount of data; No restrictions within MERSEA; real time 9 : n) regional data centers providing data for regional, shelf, coastal areas MIM

  16. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 MIM goal: to ensure the availability of near real time data, global products, gridded products • Solution: an operational data portal for GMES that is based on existing European processing facilities MIM

  17. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 Requirements for the portal Requirements for TACs A WWW data portal will be developed to deliver data in a shared and distributed mode. • The portal will provide an overview of all available MERSEA data and products // a ‘paper’ catalogue or for pre-selection • The portal will provide an easy access to the data sets through a link to the relevant data distribution centers. toward an interoperable catalogue • A central portal providing access to a federation of data centres Priority 1 • Each center will list and document the data to be distributed + access conditions • Each center will provide its data and gridded data products in a defined structure format Priority 2 • Each center will define the availability of data in a defined catalogue. Priority 3 • Each center will serve them with server Data and Information availability and distribution A WWW site will be developed as a portal to the different independent systems and to facilitate the visibility and exchange of the data in a reliable and coherent manner. Operating the WWW portal • Regular Update of the information on the data sets availability • Plus regular information on their quality and availability (e.g. news, new products, data transmission and availability problem, data status, user information and support). MIM

  21. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 Internal USERS All MERSEA partners: • routine data collection and forcast • R&D activity • End users’ products MIM

  22. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 External Users • GODAE • Operational users (e.g. applications) • Research • Education • Commercial • Policy makers MERSEA data policy, limitation of data downloading during each session MIM

  23. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 WWW Info Show pages Green documents • Access to data (internal): • Routine • On demand • Project docs Access to External Users - Through the portal MERSEA Vs GODAE MIM

  24. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 MERSEA vs GODAE MIM

  25. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 Guiding Principles: • Interoperability • Open easy-access and discovery • Reliable, sustained, efficient operations • Effective user feedback • Open design and standard process • Preservation of data and products MIM

  26. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 • The underlying philosophy should be that data should be managed independantly at participating sites. • Reduce (eliminate) the differences in data management techniques between sites, • file naming conventions, • how long to keep files on line, • whether variables are stored in individual files or consolidated, • etc. MIM

  27. Higher degree of standardization in data management in the initial stages of the project will greatly reduce the complexities of seeting it up. • Consistent syntactic representation of the data regardless of the semantics • Plus discipline specific semantics layered on the data to ease a joint use. • No requirements on the contents of these containers. Some data sets are well described, others are not. The various type of METADATA • “Metadata” provides a description of data. Precise and adequate metadata is enormously important in any project where large quantities of data have to be handled. If the data comes from a variety of sources, it is essential to adopt some standard for the metadata so that common programs can be used for analysis and comparison. We split the metadata in 4 categories: • Use metadatawhich is made of two components: • the semantic part is the information about the contents and context of the data sets • The syntatic part is the information about the data types and structures at computer level • Discovery metadata • Documentation metadata • Administrative metadata MIM

  28. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 Collaboration with Sea Search SeaDataNet Links to: EDIOS the European GOOS family (MAMA, PAPA, ARENA) MIM

  29. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 MERSEA Information Management ……routine real-time exchange of high quality information, data and products …. both in real-time and delayed mode. No historical data will be accessed through the MIM portal, links will be provided MIM

  30. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 Catalogue The catalogue will provide answers to key questions: • What, Where, When, Who, • Where to get the data, • How to direct to data / dataset MIM

  31. SeaSearch – Limassol May 25, 2004 Collaboration Sea Search and SeaDataNet (+ ESA) Develop a unique model for distributed data systems MIM
