1 Marine The Copernicus Marine Service

2 Why is the marine sector so important? Marine Blue Economy, 5 million jobs, gross added value almost 500bn/year 90% of international trade is maritime Half of the world's population lives within 100 km of coast EU coastline (where many human and economic activities take place) is 7 times longer than US, 4 times longer than Russia Global potential ocean energy resources exceed present and projected future energy needs The ocean plays a critical role in the climate system Therefore a major policy priority (International Ocean Governance, Blue Growth, Marine Strategy Framework Directive, EU Water Framework Directive, UN Sustainable Development Goals ) 2

6 The Copernicus satellites for the ocean Marine SENTINEL 1 : C band Synthetic Aperture Radar Orbit Type: Sun synchronous, near polar, circular Orbit Height: 693 km Inclination: Repeat Cycle: 175 orbits in 12 days (about 90 min/orbit) SENTINEL 2 : Multispectral Imager Orbit Height: 786 km Orbit Type: Sun synchronous Inclination: 98.5 Repeat cycle: 10 days with one satellite and 5 days with 2 satellites Resolution and Swath Width: 290 km 10 m, 20 m and 60 m spatial resolution

7 Sentinel 3 Ocean mission &insitu networks Marine SENTINEL 3 the ocean mission with: OLCI (Ocean and Land Colour Instrument) SLSTR (Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer) MWR (Microwave Radiometer) SRAL (Synthetic Aperture Radar Altimeter) Orbit Type: Sun synchronous Orbit Height: 814 km Repeat Cycle: 27 days (for one satellite) JASON 3 the reference altimeter for the marine service Nadir Altimeter 3000 floats 2000 drifters Ships, moored buyos

8 Key figures Copernicus CMEMS is fully operational since 2015, builds on the MERSEA/MyOcean research & pre operational development heritage Mercator Ocean is the entrusted entity in charge of management America 15% It proposes more than 180 products related to the physical and biogeochemical ocean Asia 14% This is more than users in the world and specially in Asia Africa 3% Oceania 2% Europe 66% 8

9 Examples of products Marine Regional sea level rise Sentinel 3 OLCI chlorophyll a concentration Greens, yellow, and finally red which has the highest concentration of Chlorophyll a. El nino From large structures "seen" by satellites to small eddies and substructures in models Small substructures are key to understand the energy transport and nutrient cycles in oceans

10 Selected Marine highlights SST anomaly on September, 1st Sep 2017 Signature of Hurricane Irma on the Oceanic Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Before Irma, ocean was warmer than the past decade SST anomaly on September, 10th After Irma, ocean was colder than the past decade Irma got its energy from ocean. Sources: SST anomaly from Mercator Ocean high resolution system distributed in CMEMS, GLOBAL_ANALYSIS_FORECAST_PHY_001_024. Data computed in comparison to the 10 year high resolution reanalysis , for the same physical system.

11 Understanding algal bloom dynamics Marine Algal bloom in Baltic sea as seen by Sentinels Swirls correspond to algae concentrations, suspended matter and chlorophyll Key to understand ocean productivity and fish stocks Eddies form and collapse in few hours Observed structures interlock with ocean currents and scale down to submesoscale of only few km Heavily influence ocean circulation and energy transport

12 Exploring new sources of energy: OTEC Marine Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) exploits the difference in temperature between warm surface waters and cooler deep water. To be economically feasible there must be a difference in temperature of more than 20 C between the water at the surface and at depth. OTEC brings value in tropical regions. y

13 Marine Saving Fuel / Shipping Company To reduce fuel consumption for ecological & economical reasons 3 options: Optimize engines, propellers, hulls Improve organization Take benefit of Meteorology/ Operational Oceanography (current observations and forecast) 0.4% = Average thanks to "current routing" (Line Europe-China Q2 2015) Target: Save 1% thanks "current routing" (current forecast reliability) would lead to 60,000t fuel saving for the whole CMA-CGM fleet > 180,000t C02.

16 Copernicus and global challenges Copernicus The future of the seas and Oceans SDG 14 & the Tsukuba communiqué Copernicus marine services provide a high resolution daily observation and forecast of the global ocean Improving projections of global and regional scale long term variability Biogeochemical projections help in assessing the C02 biological pump of the ocean, or its acidification 25 years reanalysis support climate projections and decadal variability analysis Sustaining the productive capacity and resilience of ocean ecosystems under human activities pressure marine biodiversity conservation benefiting from biogeochemical forecasts entering in marine ecosystems modelling (ie. Pelagic fish stocks, turtles,..) the 7 th continent Minimise human impacts by sustainably harvesting marine resources Biogeochemical forecasts better predicting fish stock migration and resources sustainable planning Supporting the UN regular process for global reporting and assessment of the state of the marine environment Contribution of the ocean state report Written by 80 European scientific experts from more than 25 institutions. Independent peer review
