27. 3. Whatis ECOMF European Centre for Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting

28. What is ECOMF? ECOMF This is the organization delivering the ocean monitoring and forecasting component of the GMES Marine Service

29. Why do we need ECOMF? • For implementing a sustainable provision scheme for the Ocean Monitoring & Forecasting component of the GMES Marine Service Capitalizing on the achievements of MyOcean and previous projects • More than 10 years needed for reaching the current state…, this would have – and will – not be possible without GMES Capitalizing on the Investments on observation infrastructure • Have been done & will continue for space systems • Must be consolidated for in-situ systems • This necessarily leads to a “MyOcean-like” service Whatever the future configuration of GMES will be,there is need for a solid service infrastructure and organization to be ready by 2014

30. The components of the European Operational Oceanography Infrastructure ECOMF Effort on national components Effort on ”ECOMF” A “European community  of marine centres”, adding value for users, collecting observations, delivering services, taking care of national interests, sharing skills and practices A “European Centre” taking care of the core service part, pooling high level investments, simplifying interfaces, delivering common-need data

33. ECOMF timeframe… • 2011: ECOMF emerging • Signal sent to Europeanstakeholders: the ECOMF processiskicked-off • MoUsignedby 14 keypartners for ECOMF preparation • 2012: ECOMF design • Scope, service content, implementation options, legalform, • Links/partnershipswithstakeholders, fundingschemes, governance • 2013: ECOMF implementation • Assumingthat GMES fundingschemeisknown, progressive implementation of ECOMF ; arrangements with EC and stakeholders • 2014: ECOMF ready for transition • End of MyOcean2, transition to GMES operations

34. 1st round: the MoU between the core production partners Short-term (2012) actions • Define the key elements of ECOMF: • Functionalities, architecture, legal status, governance, funding approach • Several implementation options to be considered • Link with European & national stakeholders • Discussions based on ECOMF implementation options • Partnerships to be sought Signed on 10 Feb 2014, by 14 MyOcean key partners for preparing the ECOMF definition

35. 2nd round: Partnership(s)for the full value chain… • Partnership(s) with National Centres – including the Downscaling Forecasting Centres of ROOSES • Form a group of “strategic partners” with the national centres leading operational oceanography in Member States • Goal: Ensure the necessary links between Member States Centres and ECOMF, and the national uptake of the service • Proposition: hold a “strategic partners” meeting in fall 2012

36. 2nd round: Partnershipsfor the full value chain… • Partnerships with European stakeholders • Link with Eumetsat for space observations, EEA & EuroGOOS for in situ observations, EuroGOOS for European partnerships in operational oceanography • Goal: ensure the necessary links upstream with observation providers downstream with centres and projects • Bilateral meetings in 2012

40. EUMETSAT observations for the GMES Marine Service Need to consolidate the EUMETSAT & MyOcean/ECOMF respective scopes of activities (level of processing, mono- & multi-sensor, cal/val, ….) • EUMETSAT missions feed the MyOceanservice • Jason-2 derived Sea Surface Topography • MSG & EPS derived SST, Sea Ice & Surface Winds • Future missions operated by EUMETSAT will continue • Jason series for Sea Surface Topography • Sentinel-3 for Sea Surface Topography, SST, ocean color, … • MTG & post-EPS for SST, Sea Ice, Winds…

41. EUMETSAT in MyOceanreview & guidance We hope that it will continue for MyOcean2 Importance of MyOcean2 Review Process (inspired by EUMETSAT CDOP one) • MyOceanReview Process • MyOcean Review Process inspired by EUMETSAT processes • Lorenzo Sarlo (co-chair) & Frederic Gasiglia (member) of the MyOcean Review Board: thanks for the strong & more than helpful involvement • MyOcean Advisory Committee • Lorenzo Sarlo & Paul Counet as EUMETSAT representatives
