Data Buoy Cooperation Panelstatus and developments DBCP Technical Coordinator Hester VIOLA JCOMMOPS
Topics • describe the Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP) • aims, • achievements and • Challenges • network status • developments of data buoy technology • JCOMM in-situ Observing Platform Support centre (JCOMMOPS) developments • Future work
Action Groups • Relationship of PIRATA to DBCP • Drifter deployment opportunities with Cruises. • Help to define requirements for other observing systems – drifter network, OceanSITES
Global Network status • Argo, DBCP • OceanSITES SOT • Google Earth
Acheivements • Global focus
Technology and Pilot projects • Testing new capabilities • Telecommunications • Iridium Pilot Project • Argos-3 • Buoy Technology • Intercomparisons(E-SURFMAR, GDP) • Waves – drifters and intercomparison • High resolution SST from Drifters • Better drogue detection
Real-time Data Flow - GTS • Data sharing • New GTS (WIS, BUFR standards) • QC feedback and monthly statistics • Data reporting tools (Meteofrance, live maps google earth, JCOMMOPS, OSMC etc)
Data and Metadata Management • Metadata – META-T Project • JCOMM • Standards and best practice • Shared expertise and documentation • Documentation of best practice • Archiving centres and data flow
JCOMMOPS • International Technical Coordination for the implementation of Global Ocean Observing Systems • JCOMMOPS provides coordination at the international level for oceanographic and marine observations from drifting buoys, moored buoys in the high seas, ships of opportunity and sub-surface profiling floats. JCOMMOPS operates under the auspices of the Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM). • GOOGLE EARTH, • Now doing OCEANSITES • DBCP • SOT • OceanSITES • Argo • Deployment opportunities
Developments and reporting tools • Status maps (PNG, PDF) updated monthly • Network success and density (ageing, reseeding) • Interactive maps • Web Map Viewer • Google Earth • Google Maps
Annual SOOP Line Sampling Report • Ship of Opportunity Program (SOOP) report produced annually to assess sampling with Expendable Bathy Thermographs (XBTs)
Sample Products • e.g. Stats for Argo CANADA: • - Deployments • Growth • Float models • Float Age distribution • Drifting/profiling depths • Survival rate • links to maps • ….
Future Goals • DBCP Task teams • Task Team on Moored Buoys • Metadata management and standards • Growth of JCOMMOPS to serve more communities • Further integration of the Global Ocean Observing System elements • OceanSITES (sharing platforms, minimum sensors required, sustainability) • Deployments and cruise planning • Documentation and use of best practice (hardware, data management, data quality etc) • Indicators of network success and usefullness of data
