OCTAC:Overview of V2 System EUR & GLO RAN: JRC All OC products (150) using the same file name and format convention
OCTAC products: The main mission of OCTAC is to operate a European Ocean Colour Service for GMES marine applications providing global, pan-European and regional (NW Shelves, Arctic, Baltic, Mediterranean, Iberian-Biscay-Ireland (IBI) and Black Seas) high quality ocean colour products, accompanied by a suite of quality assurance items including accuracy. OCTAC products are not only used by MyOcean Forecasting Center but also directly useable by intermediate/end users (intergovernmental bodies, National Environmental Agencies, etc.) to monitor the marine state. OCTAC provides a series of products that satisfy these stakeholders’ requirements: OC productsusers are classifiedas: -> internal users -> MyOcean MFCs -> MyOcean external users : MyOcean registered users
MyOcean: GMES Marine Core Service MyOcean is delivering the ocean monitoring and forecasting component of the GMES Marine Service
MyOcean users Users in 65 different countries (25 EU members) A fair repartition in application areas And 67% of users using the core service in more than one sector
OC data assimilation in ecosystem models: Med-MFC system example MyOceanModelling Forecasting centers (GLO,ARC, BAL, NWS, IBI,MED,BS) use OC data operationaly or in re-analysis mode: to improve the ecosystem model forecasting via OC data assimilation to validate quality of the model outputs Satellite CHL data ISAC-CNR Satellite CHL data Kd data ISAC-CNR CirculationModel 1/16° INGV Biogeochemical Model OPATM-BFM 1/8° OGS CINECA Quality Control Products OGS

Assessment of chlorophyll in offshore areas for MSFD reporting (Cefas, UK) GMES-MyOcean-MarCOAST-MERIS-chl-2 used to calculate time and space-averaged chlorophyll for different UK sea areas Validation against chlorophyll measured in situ by moored fluorometers
Monitoring the coastal water quality The MAREL automatic station in the northern English Channel (Boulogne harbour) coastalenvironment of southern for oysterfarming. Exemple: Annual Time Series of Chl-a derivedfrom in-situ fluorescence, MERIS and MODIS October 2010-2011 In-situ mean cycle and percentile 90 are indicated on the graph
OC contributionto MSFD: MSFD’s aim is to achieve good environmental status of the EU’s marine waters by 2020. The EEA and national environmental agencies use indicators based on in-situ Chl-a trends to monitor eutrophication in the European seas In the fremework on MyOcean & Marcost a new indicator based on ocean-colour data has been proposed to monitor the eutrophycationstaus of the European and national waters Pan-European Chl a trend values (mg m-3 y-1) from Global Ocean SeaWiFS – MyOcean (left panel) and from Global Ocean GSM – MyOcean (right panel) for the period 1998-2009.

Coastal Landscape Sustains human industrial, agricultural, and economic activities around major population centers Coastal Morphodynamics Link among: human dynamics, sediment transport, physical oceanography, biochemistry, geochemistry, geology, hydrology, atmospheric dynamics, including climate change. Coastal management. Awareness of spatial patterns and associated changes; how these self-organized sandy coastlines interact with changing storm and sea-level forcing and human stabilization attempts
The Historic 2011 Mississippi River flood… a first step for coastal morphodynamics by using MODIS products (from Falcini et al 2012) Institute of Marine Remote Sensing, USF Atchafalaya Mississippi Mississippi and Atchafalaya plumes had very high SSC that could have potentially contributed to marsh accretion, BUT their contrasting hydrodynamicsled to very different depositional patterns Granted by NSF RAPID
