GODAE Final Symposium • About 450 participants. Very good summary of achievements, importance of Argo, good discussion and useful inputs on the next phase (GODAE OceanView, JCOMM). • Proceedings published + GODAE WWW site • Oceanography Magazine special issue (July, 2009) (under review) (includes Argo paper).
GODAE OceanView Objectives Provide international coordination and leadership in: • The consolidation and improvement of global and regional analysis and forecasting systems (physics) • The progressive development and scientific testing of the next generation of systems covering bio-geochemical and eco-systems and extending from the open ocean into the shelf sea and coastal waters. • The exploitation of this capability in other applications (weather forecasting, seasonal and decadal prediction, climate change detection and its coastal impacts, etc). • The assessment of the contribution of the various components of the observing system and scientific guidance for improved design and implementation of the ocean observing system.
Proposals for future coordination: the main/key points Retain a working-level scientific steering team responsible for a program of activities implemented at national level a core activity (modeling and data assimilation) an active Project Office and engaged Patrons group Develop or strengthen Task teams developing new capabilities in cooperation with other relevant international programs (CLIVAR, IMBER, OOPC,..) Links with observing systems (Argo, OST, GHRSST, space agencies) Links with JCOMM (and GOOS/GSSC) Coordinate with and complement the new JCOMM Expert Team on Operational Oceanographic Forecasting Systems (ET-OOFS)
Proposed Initial Task Teams Intercomparison and Validation in cooperation with JCOMM ET-OOFS and CLIVAR GSOP Observing System Evaluation coordinated experiments; new techniques; with OOPC Links with observing system agencies Coastal Ocean and Shelf Seas Coupling open ocean/coastal zone. Seamless transition from the open sea down to the coastal zone. Marine Ecosystem Monitoring and Prediction In cooperation with IMBER Others to be defined later in relation with other communities (e.g. coupled data assimilation – NWP community)
First GODAE OceanView ST meeting Science Team meeting - June 8-10 , Toulouse OSE/OSSEs workshop - June 4-5, Toulouse
