3 Maritime activities EuroGOOS AISBL - 2

4 The polar oceans are globally important and changing Understanding these changes and their impacts is critically limited by lack of data It is critical to do better which requires stratetic planning and prioritization of observations Polar oceans globally important EuroGOOS AISBL - 3

5 Operational Oceanography Observations Processing & Modeling Services End Users

6 Ocean observations Technologically complex and high cost infrastructures. Variety of platforms/technologies Remote sensing (satellite and coastal radars) Drifting-profiling floats Fixed moorings (time-series stations) Ships of opportunity Gliders Research vessels Multi platform, multi-parametric, observatory approach Diversity of operators (national, research,..) & funding mechanisms EuroGOOS AISBL - 5

7 What is missing? (gaps) Spatial gaps horizontal SE European seas; vertical deep sea is under-sampled; Temporal gaps few complete time series; Parameter gaps biochemical; sensors are now available; Temperature C Long term commitments more than 70% based on research funding; Year Integrated monitoring strategy at European level Reduce overlaps; maximize synergies and benefits

8 Framework Concepts Take lessons learned from successes of existing observing efforts best practices Guide observing community as a whole to sustain and expand the capabilities of the ocean observing system Deliver an observing system that is fit-for-purpose Promote collaborative alignment of independent groups, communities and networks, building on existing structures as much as possible Think and plan on Polar scale, invest and implement locally/regionally.

9 EuroGOOS AISBL - 8

10 Essential Ocean Variables Driven by requirements, negotiated with feasibility We cannot measure everything, nor do we need to Including new elements of the system is driven by requirements, negotiated with feasibility Allows for innovation in the observing system over time

11 Structure of the Framework Fisheries Regional priorities Climate and Weather Real-time services Assessments and management of ecosystem services Requirements Expanded EOVs Data Products Expanded observing systems and networks

12 Towards a sustained system: requirements, observations, data management Mature Concept Pilot Attributes: Products of the European Ocean Observing System are well understood, documented, consistently available, and of societal benefit. Attributes: Peer review of ideas and studies at science, engineering, and data management community level. Attributes: Planning, negotiating, testing, and approval within appropriate local, regional, global arenas.

13 Vision for the future International partnership = sharing responsibilities and costs Based on a common vision for observation systems for the Polar Seas Free and open data sharing Exploit the synergy in working together 15/07/2015 Title of Presentation 12

15 Global Ocean Observing System GOOS 13 GOOS Regional Alliances (GRA) GOOS establishes a permanent global system for observations, modelling and analysis of marine and ocean variables to support operational ocean services worldwide GOOS is a platform for: International cooperation for sustained observations of the oceans Generation of oceanographic products and services Interaction between research, operational, and user communities
