From a European Commission perspective ENEON From a European Commission perspective ENEON workshop IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria, 12 October 2016 Michel SCHOUPPE EUROPEAN COMMISSION DG RTD - Directorate General Research & Innovation Directorate Environment Earth Observation Sector Michel.Schouppe@ec.europa.eu

ENEON ENEON functions Coordination framework for Europe’s in-situ data and networks To improve R&I in Europe (systemic approach, trans-disciplinary collaboration, transparency and reproducibility, socio-economic impact, innovation cycle) To support EU programmes (H2020 & Copernicus) To support EU policies (Open science, ERA, Space policy, Environmental and Maritime policies) To support EU priorities (EU as a global actor, Digital Single Market, Energy union) To support multilateral cooperation involving the EU, the Commission, the Member States or Associated States 2

Commission recommendations towards ENEON To articulate the concept of ENEON as an umbrella organization (role, added value, interactions with initiatives in the European landscape) To focus ENEON on the in-situ domain. To avoid a proliferation of Committees and Working Groups in ENEON. To explore legal frameworks like ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) or seek advice in GEO To establish a credible ENEON partnership by the end of ConnectinGEO To strengthen engagement with EEA and Copernicus. To involve ERA-PLANET beneficiaries operating EO networks To get involved in GEO tasks related to in situ coordination and seek for counterparts from other GEO caucuses to ensure global impact / consensus To look for possible engagement of the private sector 3

ENEON A very needed ENEON ! But how to address “coordination” in such a heterogeneous and complex landscape?

Observing networks – marine Observation type Met Office stations Drifting buoys The Met Office is responsible for ~25 annually (there are around 1250 worldwide) Moored buoys Network of 11 stations in UK waters Ships Approximately 250 manual VOS and 40 AWS equipped ships were supported by the Met Office and operational during the period of study Moored buoys Drifting buoys Ships (From Rebecca Reid and John Eyre Met Office, UK)

Observing networks – land Observation type Met Office stations SYNOP stations Approximately 290 land stations in UK network Wind profilers 7 stations in UK network GPS water vapour Approximately 120 stations in UK network Radiosondes (land stations) 6 stations in UK network (excluding defence stations providing irregular soundings) SYNOP Wind profilers GPS water vapour Radiosondes (From Rebecca Reid and John Eyre Met Office, UK)

Quick overview on SPI activities

Key issue of cost-benefit of observation networks ENEON Key issue of cost-benefit of observation networks No dispute about the cost of weather impact to society Still difficulty for global observing systems to grow WMO model of open data sharing is increasingly under stress Confusion between the socio-economic value and the commercial value of observing systems Quantitative evaluation of cost-benefit of observing systems Attempts by the Met Office to measure impact of observations in global NWP using forecast sensitivity to Observation Impact (FSOI) Calculation of impact per cost for each observing system

ENEON Questions about ENEON What win-win model to attract a wide spectrum of observation networks? What core network of networks to start with in 2017? What scope, functions, governance and sustainability models of ENEON? What role for the commercial sector? What about new, emerging "in situ" measurements? What about in situ system at national or smaller levels? What priorities for a roadmap in a complex and changing landscape? What links/synergies/collaboration with: Existing European projects/initiatives? Other networks outside the EU? What gaps in observations? How representative are they? What priorities and means to address them? What support to GEOSS and Copernicus? How? When?
