  5. Task 2.1 Assessment of a glider component in the GOOS: Objectives • Evaluate a sustained glider component in the (Euro)GOOS (all linked to WP3, 4, 5) • Analysing the complementary aspects/synergies with other GOOS components (satellites, moorings, floats,..) • Scientific research potential (physical, biogeochemical, others) • Data availability & interoperability • Contribution to ROOS’es Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014

  10. Task 2.1 Assessment of a glider component in the GOOS: • The report summarizes the existing GOOS observatories in respect to their key capabilities such as sampling (space, time) and variables/sensor (observed variables) capabilities • Based on the assessment the potential contribution of a sustained glider component to the GOOS discussed • A literature review on glider applications is done around subjectively chosen scientific topics that benefit from the GOOS Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014

  11. Task 2.1 Assessment of a glider component in the GOOS: • The report summarizes the existing GOOS observatories in respect to their key capabilities such as sampling (space, time) and variables/sensor (observed variables) capabilities • Based on the assessment the potential contribution of a sustained glider component to the GOOS discussed • A literature review on glider applications is done around subjectively chosen scientific topics that benefit from the GOOS Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014

  12. Task 2.1 Assessment of a glider component in the GOOS: The report summarizes three aspects of the synergy between numerical modelling and observational data (glider): • How can model solutions being evaluated by using glider observations (temperature, depth integrated flow)? • How can OSSEs being used to guide optimal glider platforms deployment? • “Real world” case studies of data assimilation (Mediterranean Sea & Nordic Seas) Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014

  13. Task 2.2 Legal framework: Objectives • Review the legal aspects related to the operation and deployment of gliders • IOC/ABE-LOS relevant topic • Review legal framework for joint funding and management to set up a sustained glider component in Europe Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014

  14. Task 2.2 Legal framework: Achievements • Core legal aspects in relation to Glider operations in general as well as under the auspice of a European glider infrastructure are evaluated. • Key findings: • GROOM is marine scientific research (MSR) • On a national level the member states developed national strategies for joint and/or individual glider infrastructure operations. Here, the national legal regulations apply Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014

  15. Task 2.2 Legal framework: Achievements • On a European level the “European Research Infrastructure Consortium” (ERIC) is identified as the only relevant framework for joint funding and management of a European glider infrastructure. • Nevertheless, currently a joint European glider infrastructure is not explicitly included in the ERIC Roadmap process. Alternatively, concepts that may integrate a glider infrastructure with existing ERICs (e.g. EuroArgo ERIC) could be evaluated. Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014

Task 2.2 Legal framework: Achievements • On a European level the “European Research Infrastructure Consortium” (ERIC) is identified as the only relevant framework for joint funding and management of a European glider infrastructure. • Nevertheless, currently a joint European glider infrastructure is not explicitly included in the ERIC Roadmap process. Alternatively, concepts that may integrate a glider infrastructure with existing ERICs (e.g. EuroArgo ERIC) could be evaluated. Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014

  17. Task 2.3 Financial framework: Objectives • Estimate the costs and evaluate funding schemes associated with a sustainable/operational glider component as part of (Euro)GOOS • Including:Infrastructure costs, strategies to secure funding, preparatory work for a possible business plan Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014

  18. Task 2.3 Financial framework: achievements European and some national RI literature reviewed Participation to RI workshops Start of interviews with regional marine clusters Contacts with national authorities (Research.

  20. SignificantResults • Considering the sampling, the navigational capabilities and data accessibility glider provide crucial data for the Global Ocean Observing system, and its regional sub-systems. • From a legal perspective glider deployments can not be conducted on a “common base”, such as it has been formulated in the IOC Resolution XX-6 for the Argo floats and surface drifters. Nevertheless, the awareness of the deployment of AUVs significantly increased over the last couple of years and currently new concepts are developed. • One critical achievement was the invitation to the WMO-IOC JCOMM-OCG meeting in Sept. 2013. • Over the next couple of years it is required to implement the glider part of GOOS. The implementation will first of all require a coordinating body - a coordinator (linked to JCOMM) and an advisory committee Final General Assembly – Paris, France – September 19, 2014
