Introducing Godae framework (1) • Observations (< remote sensing satellites or in situ instruments) • Analyses and forecasts (< modelling and assimilation systems) • Data management and communication plan (to deliver regularly and seamlessly, reliable and comprehensive information on the state of the ocean) GODAE Final Symposium, 12 – 15 November 2008, Nice, France
1. Introducing Godae framework (2) Other specificity of data and products : • Targeted to Open Oceanglobal or regional sub-basins at higher resolution • Focused on Ocean physicstemperature, currents, sea level, salinity, wind/wave, sea ice • Data are geo- and time-dependent (X, Y, Z, T) • Along an observational swath, or refer to a gridded area. • Characterised by spatial and temporal resolution of ocean phenomena:large ocean circulation or eddy-resolving, daily or seasonal monitoring • Special care on the time dimension. • Various levels of products depending on quality & useFrom raw data (sensor type, level 0) to ocean summary information(ocean indicator, level 5). GODAE Final Symposium, 12 – 15 November 2008, Nice, France
2. The need for data & product serving (1) depends on product level, operational status & user needs • “Privileged users” computer-to-computer link, no human intervention, high level availability and quality of service, routine delivery; • “Standard users” on request access to standard products (routinely produced) tools to search and access products; • “Public users”, ie. the general public for education and public outreach, a ‘front/demonstration’ window of operational oceanography; • “Specific users”, such as. research laboratories need specific products, which may not be available online human intervention for product delivery; • “Operations” involved in the system monitoring and supervision GODAE Final Symposium, 12 – 15 November 2008, Nice, France

2. The need for data & product serving (2) • To understand how oceanographic centres operate each forecasting system • SS1: A common knowledge and understanding of products • To identify and converge on technologies required • SS2:Data format and data inventory (for interoperability) • SS3: How to find and discover products? • To understand & evaluate products • SS4 : How to better evaluate a product (standalone or federated primary viewing services for data browse and quick evaluation) • SS5: Interactive viewing services (GIS based services or Google Earth for data qualification or science applications) • To access and manipulate the data • SS6: How to query and access a product ?(full set or subset extraction capabilities, a chain of web services) • SS7: Data manipulation and analysis (for data qualification or science applications, web portals or desktop toolboxes) • To keep track of downloads and usage of a product • SS8: Monitoring and reporting(to better meet the user needs and increase the use of data) GODAE Final Symposium, 12 – 15 November 2008, Nice, France
