  2. Outline Introduction: the Global Monitoring of Environment and Security (GMES) initiative for operationaloceanography Building the European Center for Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting: MyOceanprojects 2008-2014 The users of the service and the applications

  3. Introduction: The GMES Marine Core Service

  4. GMES for the oceans, an EU and ESA initiative • Whatisit? • A Core Service= European Public Service with ‘genericproducts’ for multiple users • ManyDownstream Services= services that stem out of coreproducts, tailored information services • Whenwillithappen? • Definition phase: 2000-2007, FP6 DG-Researchprojects • Operationalimplementation phase: 2008-2014 FP7 Space Program • How willithappen? • MarineCore Service Implementationprojects: • MyOcean/MyOcean2 2009-2014: 11 Meuro/year • Severaldownstream service projects

  5. The Marine Core Service functions Geoportal For Data Access Satellite and in situ data The Marine Core Service willdeliver regular and systematic reference information on the state of the oceans and regional seas of known quality and accuracy

  6. 2. WhatisMyOcean and whatisdelivering?

  7. MyOcean (3 years) & MyOcean2 (2,5 years) ~60 partnersfrom ~28 countries ~11 M€/year EU Grant

  8. a) A demonstration of the marine « core service » concept SYSTEM INTERMEDIATE USERS SERVICE

  9. b) A catalogue of marine «commondenominator » data • Currents, • Temperature, • Salinity • SeaLevel, • SeaIce, • Surface winds • Biogeochemistry • 239 products

  10. c) A comprehensive and consistent description of the ocean • All areas • In Situ Observations • Satellite Observations • Assimilative Models • Real-time • Reanalyses

  11. d) A single and easyaccess point for users www.myocean.eu Services DISCOVER VIEW DOWNLOAD Data Policy Open & Free

  12. e) A pan-European system organization to produce marine information 5 Thematic Assembly Centres 7 Monitoring and Forecasting Centres Models Observations Service Desk Global Ocean Sea Level Arctic Ocean Ocean Color Baltic Sea Sea Surface Temp. Atlantic NWS Sea Ice & Wind Atlantic IBI In Situ Mediterranean Sea Black Sea

  13. f) A service desk Providing assistance Connectingusers and experts

  14. g) A projectorganization to work on user’suptake User Training Bologna July 2011 User Forum Stockholm, April 2011 Defined the « referenceintermediateusers » Use a Core User Group Collected User Requirement Documents (URDs)

  15. h) A pan-European coordination to organize R&D for incrementalimprovements ECOMF Develop a commonEuropeannumericalmodellingframework for forecastingneeds (NEMO) Organize the GMES Sentinel3 (operationalocean satellite) data analysis and uptake by the assimilative models Plan the incremental upgrades of the system of systemsconsideringusers feedbacks

  16. 3. The MyOceanusers

  17. The growingnumber of users 1009 (26 march) 855 (1 march) 715 (1 feb) 602 (1 jan) Service v2 Service v0 Service v1 2009 2010 2011 2012

  18. A balancedrepartition of 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

  19. An exampleof a nationaluser Play the movie now

  20. The applications: Costa-Concordia assistance to the management of a sea emergency

  21. Costa Concordia accident

  22. Costa Concordia accident:MyOcean Response • Currents forecasted in the area Oil spill scenario derived locally Decision support for operations 13th Jan 2012 • MyOcean – Daily scenario forecasts of the possible oil spill drift and spreading

  23. Costa Concordia accident:MyOcean Response The ship contains 2500 Tons of oil (API 17) which are supposed to spill out in 72 hours GMES-MyOcean-INGV Bulletin Black is oil on the coasts

  24. In conclusions To save the Sea and its resources look at the FORECAST!! Help ! What is going on ?
