The MyOcean projectin Europe Europe/GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) The monitoring and forecasting component of the European Marine Service (the core service)
Science Team Currently ~30 members Representatives from national ocean forecasting centres, task team co-chairs, representatives from international/intergovernmental research groups, scientific experts Task Teams 5 active TTs TT chairs are members of the GODAE OceanView Science Team Project Office 1 person – located at the Met Office (UK) The Patrons’ group Decision makers of national centers + observation agencies Provide support to GODAE OceanView (financial support to the project office) Promote GODAE OceanView, provide guidance, visibility, … TheOceanView Teams
Who are the members of the GODAE OceanView Science Team ? • Scientists • Involved in their country in the development of operational oceanography • Having skills and experience in Data Assimilation and Modeling (primary focus) • Whose activity in the field is supported by the country • Self funding base: development of the workplan, meetings,… • Having some capacity to decide • Take decisions and ensure they are implemented • Report to the science team • India and Brazil entered the GODAE OceanView Science Team recently
Currently5 TASK TEAMS: address specific topics of particular importance to GODAE OceanView require collaboration with international research programs or other groups (e.g. coastal community): Inter-comparison and Validation TaskTeam IV-TT(Matt Martin & Fabrice Hernandez) ObservingSystemEvaluation OSEval-TT (Peter Oke & Gilles Larnicol) CoastalOcean and Shelf SeasCOSS-TT(Pierre De Mey & Villy Kourafalou) Marine Ecosystem Analysis and PredictionMEP-TT(Rosa Barciela & Pierre Brasseur) Short-to-Medium-Range Coupled Prediction SMRCP-TT(Gary Brassington) GODAEOceanViewTask Teams

GODAEOceanViewachievements • Establishment of GODAE OceanView work plan • Establishment/continuation of five GODAE OceanView task teams • Setting up of GODAE OceanView website: www.godae-oceanview.org • Arrangement of sponsorship for GODAE OceanView until 2013/14 • GODAE OceanView – GSOP CLIVAR workshop (June 2011) – detailed information in • workshop report (available on the web) • to continue the current OSE experiment among partners • on way for developingObserving Impact Statements • to produce and inter-compare various climate metrics • to extend the existing Quality Control inter-comparison exercise in GODAE OceanView • Organisation of an international coastal and shelf seas Workshop (Jan 2012) • Organisation of a GODAE OceanView-WGNE workshop (Sep/Oct 2012)
Meeting structure • TT parallel meetings (+ patron phone conf) • Monday: IV-TT, OSEVal TT, COSS-TT • Wednesday: SMRCP-TT, Patrons’ meeting • Tuesday (Cocktail): • reports from IOC, ET-OOFS, GOV-GSOP-CLIVAR workshop, OOPC, ESA • Start reports on TTs: OSE-Val + IV • Start reports from Nat systems Fr, Ca, • Wednesday (Dinner): • Continue with Au, ECMWF, Jp, ECCO • Obs: ARGO, OST, GHRSST, • Thursday: • PICO, IOOS, South African Summerschool • RTOFS, Br, It, HYCOM, UK, Ch • COSS, MEP, SMRCP TTs • Report from the patrons’ teleconf • Friday (morning): • Work plan review, • Discussion paper (review/symposium) • Discussion slots every day: More time to discuss than during GOVST I and GOVST II
Reminder • The National reports are due • The TT reports also • All these reports will serve the purpose of the final GOV evaluation (WRT workplan ?) • The discussion on Friday is important • Review, Symposium, a decision has to be taken • Also important: to gather inputs for the Patron’s meeting (before Wednesday)
