  1. Monitoring the Norwegian Coastal Zone Environment by Johnny A. Johannessen and Nina Winther

  2. Ocean Color Satellite Image Algae concentration-distribution Northeast Atlantic in TOPAZ Bathymetric Map

  3. MONCOZE Main Goal Develop, test and demonstrate a pilot system for monitoring and prediction of the Norwegian Coastal Zone Environment, with special focus on current, temperature and salinity and their influence on water quality (primary production, eutrophication and harmful algal blooms). Bruce Hackett, Lars Petter Røed, Jon Albretsen (met.no) Einar Svendsen, Henrik Søyland, Morten Skogen, Didrik Danielsen (IMR) Johnny A. Johannessen, Nina Winther, Lasse Pettersson, Laurent Bertino (NERSC) Funded byNorwegian Research Council 2001-2005

  12. From MONCOZE to Operational Oceanography • Monitoring - Satellite observations - in-situ observing network - rapid transmission - near real time processing and distribution. • Modeling - State characterization and prediction - episodic occurances of extreme events - reanalyses - time series. • Products - Current and eddies - temperature - salinity - layer structure - sea level - algae concentration and distribution - eutrophication - pollution - oil dispersion and spreading. • Services - Routine information flow to public and specialized users • Management - More reliable impact, effect analyses, reporting • Security - Ship detection, Search and Rescue, Pollution monitoring

  13. From MONCOZE to Operational Oceanography ARE WE DONE??? ---ON THE WAY BUTNEED ADVANCES IN • Coverage of the entire Norwegian Coast • In-situ observing network with rapid transmission and near real time processing (ships, buoys,gliders). • Coastal observatories at tie-point including HF-radar (CODAR) systems. • Hydrological modelling-river runoff-nutrient loads • Ecosystem modelling and two-way nesting of models into the fjords with very fine (100 m) resolution. LETS HOPE WE HAVE THIS IN PLACE BEFORE THE BIG ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER HAPPENS WITHIN OUR EXCLUSIVE MARINE ECONOMIC ZONE
