  1. User Strategy & WP18 progress

  2. A user-driven service • Targeting intermediate users - service providers • Based on user requirements (URDs) -> Service definition • Aiming at user’s satisfaction • Incrementally improved based on user’s feedback -> Service evolution CORE

  3. Major Drivers • European & international policies (IMP, MSFD, CFP, WFD, UNCFCC…..); supporting EU and MS to implement them (evidence-based policy making) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Economic growth; Maritime “blue” economy; contribution to Innovation Europe • Knowledge based society; improved information; better services (users of the sea; safety, environment, climate, weather) • Scientific excellence; new products – new tools for new research

  4. Targeted users • National (MS) Institutions • Public and private agencies • Service providers (incl. research) • Acting as intermediate users to economy & society • European agencies & International organizations • EC, EEA, EMSA, HELCOM, OSPAR, UNEP/MAP, ICES, BSC, EMWF • Private Sector • Delivering specialized services • Adding value and transforming innovation to economic growth • International – global initiatives • GEOSS, GODAE, …

  5. Approach • National (MS) Institutions • Major national institutes members of consortium • Providing requirements- assessment ; contributing to long term evolution • Strategic partnership with EuroGOOS during MyO2; ROOS to define regional requirements & strategy; • European agencies & International organizations • Strategic major users of MyOcean service • Continuous dialogue for definition of requirements; • Setup of specific mechanisms for response to their needs: short term service adaptation; medium - long term evolution including R&D • Tailor-made SLAs to manage interaction (EEA, EMSA, …) • Private Sector • Adoption of an open-free data policy • Same service to all users: equal opportunities • Proactive approach in MyO2 Outreach activities on availability / quality of products; Training activities to enhance uptake • International – global initiatives • Contribution to GEOSS; Role in GODAE; link to GMES Africa – Arctic

  6. The role of WP18 (Overview) • Main objective: A structured interaction with Users • Expression of intermediate user needs: Manage / update User Requirements Documents (URDs) • Provision of feedback on MyOcean service and products by: • integrating core products into existing national/European operational systems & procedures • assessing the impact of this integration • Address 2 categories of users (A-B): • Reference Intermediate Users (RIU: 28 national agencies, plus ECMWF). Direct participation to the project. Existing experience with OO products : ready to deliver detailed requirements • EU and Intergovernmental agencies: EEA, EMSA, HELCOM, OSPAR, UNEP/MAP, ICES. Contributing to the project through “interface” partners. Participation to the Core Users Group - CUG

  7. Structure / Deliverables / Interactions • Four areas of benefit / sub-WPs: • Marine and Coastal Environment (HAB, eutrophication) • Marine Safety (oil spills, ice, operations) • Marine Resources (fisheries) • Weather / Climate • Two types of deliverables: • URDs (with updates) • UARs (with updates) • Interaction with: • WP17 Service Definition • WP16 Service Desk • MAC – Core Users Group

  9. Activities / Achievements of Year2 • Assessment and feedback through UAR • Transition V0 – V1: beta testers – feedback • Adaptation of RIU systems • Updated URD • Support of major accounts (e.g. EEA Waterwatch & EoE, EMSA technical req. for CleanSeaNet, OSPAR QSR 2010) • Contribution to MyOcean user activities (Workshop, Survey, Communication) • 2nd CUG meeting

  10. UAR results (Yr1+Yr2 draft) • Need for higher temporal and spatial resolution products for most applications (ice, oil drift forecasts, coastal applications, fisheries) • Request for longer hindcasts & reanalysis • New products for catalogue: atmospheric forcing fields; waves; eddy viscosity • Inclusion of value added products (e.g. fronts detection) should be explored • Better documentation on products (data source, quality etc) and service (e.g. download instructions) • Explore various delivery mechanisms (ftp push), aggregation etc; problems with large data files • Good response by service desk; slower response by PU / service definition • Registration process has improved but can be even better • Web portal needs to be redesigned; become simpler; user friendly; also for catalogue – products discovery • Positive impact on performance of national systems; added value for EU agencies Products Service

  11. URD update

  12. Major accounts: EEA • Arctic Sea Ice indicator: Produced at the Norwegian and Danish Meteorological Institutes , delivered through MyOcean SPC product • Mean Sea Level Trend indicator: Produced by MyOcean Sea Level TAC – used by EEA as Indicator and included into SOER 2010

  13. EMSA • Technical details for service have been resolved during yr2 • Review meeting MyO and EMSA 05.2011 • Work on Service Level Agreement • Feedback from CSN operational user community in June 2011 and in December 2011 • Explore potential of MyOcean data in IMDatE at EMSA for new user communities (2012)

  14. Regional conventions, OSPAR

  15. Core Users Group

  16. 2nd CUG meeting (April 2011) draft comments & recommendations • Quality of products to be more visible; need to open the scientific assessment reports (e.g. of MFC – TAC) to users • Accessibility to service to be improved (Web interface, registration) – more user friendly; more visualization products • Sustainability of service of major concern; GMES to seek for commitments a.s.a.p. • Reliability – robustness of service is recognized • Work closer with downstream service providers; common outreach & training activities; more clear boundaries between services • Need for higher temporal and spatial resolution products to initialize & force national systems (downscaling, ice+oil drift applications, ). Solve the wind & waves products issue. Need for long timescale products (re-analysis, …) • Response to emergencies; possibly not a MCS issue but need to be addressed

  17. Final Remarks • Interaction between MyOcean & Users: • Continuous process • Realized through different mechanisms (CUG, direct contribution to project, user fora, service desk – WP18 / 17 / 16) • To be intensified through outreach & training activities planed after 2011 • A learning exercise for both sides; mutual benefit • Of strategic importance for evolution & long term sustainability of the GMES Marine Service

  18. Examples of WP18 National systems / applications

  19. ISPRA: MyO products for coastal applications Harbor studies (Pescara) Brine discharges • Issues: • Difficulties to extract “point information” from 3D fields • Need for longer data sets & reanalysis

  20. CNR OPERATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHY SERVICES Oil-Spill emergencies AREA 2 Coastal environment assesments Sustainable Fisheries AREA1 MARINE SAFETY AREA 3 Support to security operations Search and Rescue Ship routing - Marine operations

  21. Sub-regional services in Latvia • Issues: • Baltic products are of low resolution (horizontal, vertical) • Wind and Wave products are needed

  22. BSH: use of MyOproducts Modell validation 04/21/2011 (SST_BAL_SST_L4_NRT_OBSERVATIONS_010_007_b) Observation Validation Forecast • Download of data still via ftp • „Valid“ NetCDF format different • Better presentation of products, more maps, figures, diagrams etc.

  23. Services for Belgium coast Issues: not all products of same quality (BC) Resolution: ~7km Resolution: ~5km Resolution: 50-750 m Sea Surface Temperature on 28/09/2010, noon

  24. Subregional services in Estonia • Remote sensing products have been smoothed for 2-4 km depending on the product, which reduces the identification of small scale features • The main disadvantage of using MyOcean model product is low vertical resolution, 5 vertical layers only.

  25. Use of MyO products by CEFAS/ UK Case 4: Assessments of water quality Task description: annual assessment of phytoplankton biomass in UK waters

  26. South Eastern Levantine Israeli Prediction System (SELIPS) SELIPS provide daily high resolution 4 day forecast of temperature, salinity, current and sea level elevation for the southeastern corner of the Levantine basin.

  27. No wavebreaking Coastal applications in Slovenia Wavebreaking, 50 m depth

  28. Portugal: Fisheries & mariculture Potential fishing zones Biogeochemical and filter feeder’s growth models.
