  1. Recent changes, future plans and expectations from E-SURFMAR

  2. Status • Fixed platforms (8) • Drilling rigs (2) • Weather ship (1) – MIKE • Research vessels (4) • Coast guard ships (not out at GTS)

  3. Fixed platforms, drilling rigs and MIKE • The Norwegian fixed platforms are placed in the North Sea and in the Norwegian Sea (sending 8 or 24 observations per day). However there is an increasing oil activity in the Barent Sea and more meteorological observations to come. • Polar Pioner (3FYT) and Erik Raude (C6QE7) are drilling rigs (sending SHIP when possible) • MIKE (Polarfront) – Weather ship, sending out observations every hour (Global Star/Inmarsat)

  4. Research vessels • G.O. Sars (LMEL) – North Atlantic • Johan Hjort (LDGJ) – Norwegian Sea, Barent Sea • Jan Mayen (LAHV) – Northern coast, Svalbard • Håkon Mosby (LJIT) – west coast, Svalbard

  5. Possible future plans • 11 ships sailing continuously from Bergen to Kirkens (Hurtigruten). Great potensial for met. data. • Ferries (Oslo – Denmark, Oslo – Kiel, Bergen – Newcastle, Stavanger – Newcastle etc): Also here great potensial for met./ocean. data. • Increase met. data from military vessels (Coast guard etc), especially in the Barent Sea. • The oil companies are going to do some effort in establishing more bouys in the Barent Sea region.

  6. Expectations from the E-SURMAR • By the increase in maritime AWS, a higher frequency in observations for each station is expected (especially important for pressure and pressure tendency in sensitive meteorological areas). • E-SURFMAR improves the cooperation and coordination due to marine observations. E-SURFMAR helps us to exchange and take the advantage of observations from each other. • Hopefully will a reduction in communication cost and new/better technology increase the amount and frequency for marine observations in the future.
