Spanish Marine GMES User group Conceptual organization Kick-off Meeting Spanish Marine GMES UG (Madrid, Oct 18th2012) Kick-off Meeting Iberian MyO IBI-MFC Users (Madrid, Nov 13th 2012)
59 Partners , 28 countries MyOcean (2009-2012) / MyOcean 2 (2012-2014) GMES Marine Service /ECOMF in 2014 An Open and free service for all users
WhatisMyOcean?: the top to obtain a unique dynamic and3D vision of the Ocean Ice Currents SeaLevel • ANYWHERE (Global + 6 RegionalSeas) • FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP • AT ANY TIME (past, present, future) • REAL TIME or PAST PERIOD Temperature Biogeochemical Salinity
MyOdeliversa coreService • Products • Currents, Temperature, Salinity, SeaLevel, Ice, Biogeochemistry, … • Observation- and model-basedproducts • Real-time and delayed mode • Quality indices • One catalogue • Services • Discovering, viewing, downloading • One desk • Policy • Open and free Go to: www.myocean.eu Mailto: servicedesk@myocean.eu.org
Users & uses • reinforcing safety at sea (offshore operations, search & rescue…) • combatting oil spills, • monitoring water quality, • assessing environmental impact, • delivering data for Climate Change scenarios, • protecting living marine resources, • harnessing thermal water energy • predicting coastal erosion (…).
SpanishUserGroup: Objectives… Articulate an Spanish IBI Users Network: • (what for?) To exchange experiences, and to enhance feedbacks between MCS and users. • (final long-term scope?) to improve or generate new MCS & downstream services and make them user-driven • (who?) In a first phase, focused on operational users (Intermediate users) and some key end-users. • (how?) Some actions already launched…

SpanishUserGroup: Institutions… 13 Groups articulates (by now) the Spanish Users Network: • 11 Intermediate/end user. • 2 Institutions related to MyO MCS. • Number of people implicated: • 25 technical contacts (already members of the mailing list) • 23 attendees to the Spanish IBI User Group Kick-off Meeting (Madrid, 13th Nov 2012). • Number of active MyOcean users: 9 (and rising up!)
SpanishUserGroup: Firstactions… • Generation of communication tools: • A mailing list. • A dedicated web page (soon available) • Open a technical forum (specific for IBI-MFC user group) • Set up a Working Group for making progress on local nesting into IBI-MFC regional products. • Update existing downstrem systems to use MCS products • Ease generation of new local system using experience and knowledge from the already existing ones using MCS. • Web Tool for comparing (validating) model solutions in overlapping areas.
