Moored Buoys EUCOSmoored buoys • The four EUCOS moored buoys were nominally in operation over the past two months. • K5 still reports directional wave spectra observations through Iridium for valuation (no spectra reported onto the GTS). • Areference waverider would be desirable for calibration (DB-TAG request). The use of ~50 k€ from E-SURFMAR savings was proposed. The project was removed from the revised EUCOS budget. 20th PB-OBS Meeting, 5-6 Sept. 2009 Pierre Blouch, E-SURFMAR Programme Manager

Other activities and plans • Surface marine OSE conducted by ECMWF (period: 7 weeks over last winter). Results expected in next december/january. • Works on an AIS weather report dataformat in the frame of the e-navigation (collaboration with a correspondence group of IMO on AIS binary messages). These reports could become the equivalent of AMDAR for ships. • Search for voluntary ships to be equipped with BaRos stations in the Medit. Sea is becomming a priority for E-SURFMAR. Possible co-operation with oceanographers in the frame of HyMeX (first IOP in 2001-2012) andMOON (Medit. Operational Oceanography Network). • Preparation of a workshop for PMOs in Antwerp (2-4 december 2009). Programme : use of the Pub 47 metadata database and QC tools, S-AWS installations (including a real exercice on a ship). 20th PB-OBS Meeting, 5-6 Sept. 2009 Pierre Blouch, E-SURFMAR Programme Manager
