1 MY OCEAN Marine Core Service

2 Project objectives and definition MY OCEAN Marine Core Service F. ADRAGNA Project Manager - Mercator Ocean

3 Context GMES : Global Monitoring for Environment and Security Core Service = European Public Service To support and develop the Downstream activities Definition and setting up : FP7 3 «Fast Tracks Services» : Emergency Response Core service : SAFER (Infoterra Fr.) Land Monitoring Core Service : Geoland-2 (Infoterra Gmbh Medias) : MyOcean (Mercator-Ocean) 2 «Pilot Services» : Security : G-Mosaic (Telespazio) Atmosphere : MACC (ECMWF)

4 Goal of the project MyOcean overall objectives are to set up a concerted and integrated pan-european capacity for ocean monitoring and forecasting, demonstrate the operationality of the system, based on a «service oriented» organization bring a new pan-european value for the benefit of the marine service providers on duty at national or european levels contribute to the long-term sustainability of this pan-european capacity

5 (why) Areas of benefit MyOcean will provide the common denominator data for all users in the marine sector, in other words the information for existing & new downstream services. Climate Marine Environment Seasonal and weather forecasting Offshore Maritime transport and safety Fisheries Research General Public

6 (why) Areas of benefit MyOcean will provide the common denominator data for all users in the marine sector, in other words the information for existing & new downstream services. Area 1 «MARINE SAFETY» (marine operations, oil spill combat, ship routing, defense, search & rescue, ) Area 3 «MARINE AND COASTAL ENVIRONMENT» (water quality, pollution, coastal activities, ) Area 2 «MARINE RESSOURCES» (fish stock management, ICES, FAO, ) Area 4 «CLIMATE & SEASONAL FORECASTING» (climate monitoring, ice, seasonal forecasting,..)

7 (to whom) The targeted users The Key Users MyOcean will deliver a service to EU: The European Union Users: European agencies (EEA, EMSA, EDA,...) MS: The Member States Users: National / Regional Service Providers (public or private) IG: The Intergovernmental bodies Users: MS and/or exec.bodies such as OSPAR, UNEP-MAP, HELCOM, ICES,... EEA EMSA EDA... Met Offices Env. agencies Ocean centers Navies, CoastGuards,.. OSPAR ICES... CORE... Research centers UNEP-MAP

8 (what) The service MyOcean will deliver regular and systematic reference information (processed data, elaborated products) on the state of the oceans and regional seas: at the resolution required by intermediate users & downstream service providers, of known quality and accuracy, for the global and European regional seas. Data handling, Modelling and Assimilation Variables: T, S, UV, SSH, ice, Chl-a,... Products: Catalog of reference products : predefined data fields, reanalysis, reports,... Service: Delivery, Discovering, Viewing, Downloading, 24/7 Support, Information, PoC,

9 (how far) scope of responsibility OBSERVATIONS Provider Provider Provider Provider MyOcean European Core Service END - USERS The upstream The downstream upstream to our service cut-off cut-off downstream to our service:... is done (duty), or will... is done (duty) by an Data, Model be better done (skill) by a observation agency or European added-value specialized agency, a European center (raw data) agency or a national center ; Example : Eumetsat SAF usually already in place or the ESA PAC Example : COASTAL SYSTEMS
