  1. SWARP: Ships and Waves Reaching Polar regions Laurent Bertino, Timothy Williams Nansen Environment and Remote Sensing Center, Bergen, Norway Contract number 607476

  2. Objectives As of today, there is no forecasting service in GMES that is valid for the gray zone where waves-in-ice processes dominate. • Aim: Filling the gaps existing in the GMES services with respect to waves in sea ice 1) extending the validity of wave and sea ice forecasting systems in the marginal ice zone, 2) developing remote sensing methods for routine monitoring of combined risks of waves and ice

  3. SWARP Partnership

  4. Work Packages NERSC IFREMER NERC ODL NERSC NAVTOR NERSC

  5. TOPAZ - North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans 11 – 16 km resolution (800 × 880) 28 hybrid vertical levels Fram Strait 3.5 km resolution (410 × 320) Barents and Kara Sea 5.0 km resolution (510 × 450) TOPAZ is the official European system for monitoring and forecasting the Arctic. It is exploited operationally at met.no http://www.myocean.eu.org

  6. Model setup Tides (FES2004) Topaz4 NA & AO Nesting: Ocean and Ice myocean.met.no Boundary Conditions 2-3 days Sea Ice Forecast (3 days EVP+MIZ web) (2 days WIM wave data) Ocean and Sea Ice Model (EVP + MIZ) Rivers (ERAI + TRIP05) Atmosphere (ECMWFR) WIM module (Waves-in-Ice) Validation OceanDataLab, NIERSC, Ifremer, NERSC WW3 Ifremer.fr Nesting Forcing Forecast Models Validation

  7. Project schedule at a glance • Mo 1-12: Developments • Models • Remote sensing methods • Mo 13-24: Validation • Integration in NAVTOR’sNavPlanner • Mo 25-36: Demonstration to users • Mo 30: Service launch • Mo 36: Final project meeting

  8. Dissemination plan (WP7) • Web sites • Data service • http://swarp.nersc.no • http://bit.ly/15k2FDW • Short movie • Interviews this week • Animations • Scenes from (previous) research cruises

  9. Practical information • Soon: a SWARP website with internal area • Sharing presentations • Events, news … • A SWARP logo (suggestions?) • How to acknowledge the project • EU FP7 logo on the first slide of your presentations • Grant number 607476 acknowledged in publication • Consortium agreement: status • Inputs from NERC, UO, NIERSC, ODL, NERSC • Waiting for IFREMER, ISMER, NAVTOR • Issues about the text? (IPR, …)

  10. Finances • SWARP has 3 reporting periods • End of January 2015, 2016 and 2017 • Use of EU online reporting tools (Emdesk, Force)
