In November 2009, a Workshop was held in Rome with the participation of EUMETNET, Mediterranean Meteorological Offices and MOON Members. Outcome: The MOON-E-Surfmar Cooperation Plan was drafted MOON Assembly in Istanbul discussed the Plan and approved. Members started to be in contact with P.Blouch for AWS implementation on board of Med ship lines. A second meeting with EUMETNET and MOON Members was held in Venice, May 2010 to discuss the MoA MOON Assembly in March 2011 finalized the MoA and proposed to EUMETNET for signature A short history of MOON -EUMETNET collaboration
MOON-GIE EUMETNET MoA • SCOPE OF COOPERATION BETWEEN MOON AND EIG EUMETNET MEMBERS • A) share information and knowledge for the purpose of improving oceanographic and meteorological forecasting over the Mediterranean Sea. • B) deploy BAROS, BATOS and future E-AWS stations in the Mediterranean SOOP-VOS, moored buoys and research vessel platforms; • C) report data from the MOON network in the GTS in real-time through the network of national meteorological centers, if possible, and make available other GTS data for the Mediterranean Sea to MOON Members; • D) make available Quality Control tools to monitor in near real time the quality of measured parameters by each platform;
MOON-ESURFMAR Cooperation Plan • The MOON-ESURFMAR Cooperation outlines the development of a real time, basin scale surface monitoring system which should be coupled to: • SOOP lines • moored buoys • research vessel network. XBT tracks in the Mediterranean Sea from the SOOP program (1999 – 2009)
Progress up to date • 3 BAROS Stations were installed in December 2010 • The Cyprus Oceanography Center and Cyprus Oceanography Center installed 2 BAROS on board of PONTOS and LOUIS MAJESTY commercial vessels. They transmit on the GTS since then • ENEA (LS) installed a BAROS station on board of TENACIA ferry (Livorno-Genova-Malta route) • One BATOS Station was installed on board of CNR research vessel URANIA and started to work a wekk ago
Next steps • Convene another MOON-ESURFMAR-EUMETNET workshop to: • 1) check on the BAROS and BATOS implementation progress on SOOP/VOS • 2) discuss the fixed buoys AWS systems implementation • 3) discuss progress in atmospheric Forecasting for operational oceanography • 4) discuss possible joint meteo-oceanographic products in the Med Sea • 5) discuss the start of port met offices
