1 METOC at Defence Center for Operational Oceanography (FCOO) Forsvarets Center for Operativ Oceanografi Dr. Johan Söderqvist Oceanographer

2 FCOO Staff (13 pos.) Geophysical expertise: oceanography, meteorology, geodesy, hydrography IT specialists: Linux, supercomputing (clusters), automation, optimal data processing Oceanographic modelling, forecasting, and validation Scientific computing and high performance computing (HPC) Data handling for I/O data, quality control, database technologies Software development for dissemination, communication and presentation for users

3 FCOO METOC tasks Contribute to defence: - planning - operations - exercises Support Danish Navy s Coast Guard assignments Single POC for the Danish defence in national/international cooperation Datacenter: Data and Products for special use by the Danish defence

4 FCOO Cooperation Civilian national institutions: Greenland Institute of Natural Resources Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) The Danish National Space Institute (DTU-Space) Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) Arctic Research Center: Copenhagen University & Aarhus University Faroe Marine Research Institute International: NAVOCEANO & NRL

5 Danish Defence in the Arctic Vessels: 3 Knud Class, including the Research Vessel Lauge Koch 3 Thetis class 1 Frigate (from 2019) Aircraft: Challenger C-130 Dog sledge patrol (Sirius patrol)

6 FCOO forecast areas

7 FCOO forecast areas, Arctic Only waves: WW3-Arctic We need help!

8 External METOC forecasts and observations: Arctic Ocean-Ice forecasts NAVOCEANO NOAA: also N. Atlantic & Mediterranean Wave and Meteorological forecasts ECMWF: Global (including Arctic) Meteorological forecasts Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) Ice charts & Satellite images Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI)

9 Danish perspectives Danish Resources Lauge Koch FCOO Products & Dissemination End users Lauge Koch

10 Dissemination & Products Information For Mariners Maps (IFM Maps) - Impact Maps - Seatrack Web: Oil spill simulations for Greenland and Danish waters Search And Rescue (SAR) for Greenland and Danish waters

11 IFM Maps

12 IFM Maps - Greenland

13 Impact Maps - Greenland

14 Impact Maps - Europe

15 NAVOCEANO forecast (1) Sirius Patrol support

16 NAVOCEANO forecast (2) Exercise, East Greenland

17 Oil spill monitoring and prediction system

18 New tasks Disseminate Satellite images on IFM Maps Climate maps (like IFM Maps, but for Environmental Briefing Doc.) Impact Maps: Include ocean forecasts (currents, sea-ice, temperature) Deployed NOAA/NASA buoys in Arctic Ocean (IABP) Deliver products for ASW

19 Gaps - Modelling Regional ocean/sea-ice model for Greenland waters, where coastal effects comes into play Disseminate profile data: (speed of sound, salt, temp., dens.) Visibility: Best practice for monitoring and validation of forecasts

20 Gaps - Observations In-situ: Met.-Ocean buoys, ADCP, Waveriders, Gliders, Drifters, Autonomous submarine vehicles HF-radar: Ocean currents Airborne remote sensing: Lidars for measuring waves and the sea floor Sea level monitoring: outside the Greenland archipelagoes and fjords (existing Greenland tide gauges are inshore)

24 Knud Class Offshore patrol vessel Displacement: 1720 tons Length: 71.8m (235 ft.) Draft 4.9m (16ft.) Range: 3000 nm. 18 crew members Accommodation in total: 43 Fishery inspections Environment protection Search And Rescue Sovereign enforcement Icebreaker assignments

25 Thetis Class Ocean patrol vessel Displacement: 3500 tons Length: 112m (388 ft.) Draft 6m (19ft.) Range: 8700 nm. Accommodation: Can break through 0.8m ice Fishery inspections Environment protection Search And Rescue Sovereign enforcement Icebreaker assignments Support local authorities

26 Impact Maps Client-server architecture Client based on web technologies Server is a standard Web Map Service (WMS) with minor extensions Advantages Server extremely cheap to implement Can be standardised as an extension to the WMS standard Interoperability between clients and servers from different vendors Takes advantage of existing high performing WMS servers Flexible; users can adjust impact parameters Server can be used to plot risk assessment maps as well

27 Impact Maps future work Collaboration on standardisation of WMS extension and convention for impact color representation Foundation for efficient operational impact maps New server version Flexible grids Flexible scheduling WMS compliant (plus extensions) Performance New client version Multi map view
