1 GEOSS in Americas Symposium Side Session - Capacity Building ANTARES Network Milton Kampel Ministry of Science and Technology National Institute for Space Research

2 ANTARES Observation Network Integrated network of in situ and remote sensing stations focused on detecting long-term changes in marine ecosystems around Latin America

3 ANTARES South-American Network First Initiative: IOCCG training course, Concepción, n, Chile (2002) South-American Workshop (IOCCG) Mar del Plata, Argentina (2003) 15 specialists from SA (Argentina, Brazil, Chile y Venezuela) and experts from NA (Canada, EEUU)

5 Goal Promote observations of coastal ecosystems around Latin-America at various scales, ranging from in situ time-series to remote sensing observations, aiming to detect and characterize long-term spatial-temporal temporal variability.

6 ANTARES - Approach The network is built on ongoing initiatives in different countries in the Americas both in the remote sensing area and in situ observations Integrate satellite observations with in situ timeseries data Create a database of in situ and satellite data for scientific applications, educational purposes and management of coastal resources

8 Venezuela Cariaco Basin is on the continental shelf of Venezuela It is a depression ~1400 m deep, connected to the Caribbean Sea by two shallow channels (~140 m) It is influenced by the Trade Winds, which induce strong upwelling during the first half of the year High productivity and vertical flux of organic matter leads to permanent anoxia below ~250 m. CARIACO Time-Series program sampled the Basin monthly since October 1995 (hydrography, productivity) Two moorings are maintained (sediment flux traps, current meters) Rosette Milton Kampel ADCP and mooring buoy GEOSS Americas Brazil Sep R/V Hermano Gines

26 ANTARES International Links ANTARES has been promoted: International Ocean-Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG); Partnership for the Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO). ANTARES has been considered in the Agendas of: Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) - Proposed as a GOOS Ocean-Colour Pilot Study (ChlorOGIN); Group of Earth Observation (GEO) Task CB Ecosystems in the implementation plan of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).

27 Plymouth Chlorophyll Meeting and Workshops Extended Antares Network Sept 2006 ChlorOGIN - Chlorophyll Ocean Global Integrated Network

28 Plymouth Chlorophyll Meeting and Workshops The meeting consisted of three components: a plenary planning meeting a satellite remote sensing technical workshop an in situ observations technical and calibration workshop The 44 participants represented Latin America, southern and east Africa, India, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka, the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, and the sponsors: the PML, GOOS, GEO and POGO

29 Plymouth Chlorophyll Meeting and Workshops Principal recommendations: That the ChlorOGIN network be implemented with immediate effect, linking existing national and regional centres; That the appropriate bodies ensure that continuity of satellite ocean colour sensors is achieved to provide inter-calibrated long time series of surface ocean chlorophyll and SST; That in situ time-series of surface and sub-surface observations be made at each regional centre to support the satellite measurements by integration/combination in a manner that suits local societal and scientific needs; The need for homogeneity/compatibility of protocols (e.g. for match-ups), procedures and analysis tools/practices be recognised and that members of the network move towards common protocols;

30 Plymouth Chlorophyll Meeting and Workshops Principal recommendations: That physical infrastructure (such as the connection between networks and receiving stations, data distribution, materials required to adopt best practice protocols for in situ measurements) and human capacity be developed in existing and new centres to expand the network in two five-year phases; That communications bandwidth be improved in most developing countries, as this limits the delivery of ocean chlorophyll and related products and is more important than satellite ground receiving stations; That funding be sought for development of the ChlorOGIN Network from national bodies, the Large Marine Ecosystem programmes, and other sources.

34 Educational use of ANTARES

35 Future activities Strengthen in situ time-series stations. Standardize a core set of measurements to create a common database Include new time-series stations to gain understanding on a continental-scale Integrate remote sensing data with field data on web sites, to show the degree of comparison at the different stations Include satellite data from other sensors like MERIS and follow-on missions (VIISR, NPP and NPOES) Continue developing the internet web services tools, including data and product descriptions, and tutorials.
