2. What is MyOcean2

MyOcean2 2,5 year project (April 2012 – September 2014), with 60 partners, and a EU Grant of 28 M€ A continuation of MyOcean1 focussing further on the service to users, and with improvements based on MyOcean experience Some priorities: continuous updates in the catalogue, quality assessment, reanalyses & multi-year assessment, user uptake

3. What is ECOMF European Centre for Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting

What is ECOMF? This is the organization delivering the ocean monitoring and forecasting component of the GMES Marine Service ECOMF

Why do we need ECOMF?  For implementing a sustainable provision scheme for the Ocean Monitoring & Forecasting component of the GMES Marine Service Capitalizing on the achievements of MyOcean and previous projects More than 10 years needed for reaching the current state…, this would have – and will – not be possible without GMES Capitalizing on the Investments on observation infrastructure Have been done & will continue for space systems Must be consolidated for in-situ systems This necessarily leads to a “MyOcean-like” service Whatever the future configuration of GMES will be, there is need for a solid service infrastructure and organization to be ready by 2014

The components of the European Operational Oceanography Infrastructure ECOMF A “European Centre” taking care of the core service part, pooling high level investments, simplifying interfaces, delivering common-need data Effort on ”ECOMF” A “European community of marine centres”, adding value for users, collecting observations, delivering services, taking care of national interests, sharing skills and practices Effort on national components

ECOMF timeframe… 2011: ECOMF emerging – Signal sent to European stakeholders: the ECOMF process is kicked-off – MoU signed by 14 key partners for ECOMF preparation 2012: ECOMF design – Scope, service content, implementation options, legal form, – Links/partnerships with stakeholders, funding schemes, governance 2013: ECOMF implementation – Assuming that GMES funding scheme is known, progressive implementation of ECOMF ; arrangements with EC and stakeholders 2014: ECOMF ready for transition – End of MyOcean2, transition to GMES operations 2011, kick-off 2012, design 2013, implement. 2014, ready

1 st round: the MoU between the core production partners Signed on 10 Feb 2014, by 14 MyOcean key partners for preparing the ECOMF definition Short-term (2012) actions – Define the key elements of ECOMF: Functionalities, architecture, legal status, governance, funding approach Several implementation options to be considered – Link with European & national stakeholders Discussions based on ECOMF implementation options Partnerships to be sought

2 nd round: Partnership(s) for the full value chain… Partnership(s) with National Centres – including the Downscaling Forecasting Centres of ROOSES – Form a group of “strategic partners” with the national centres leading operational oceanography in Member States – Goal: Ensure the necessary links between Member States Centres and ECOMF, and the national uptake of the service – Proposition: hold a “strategic partners” meeting in fall 2012

2 nd round: Partnerships for the full value chain… Partnerships with European stakeholders – Link with Eumetsat for space observations, EEA & EuroGOOS for in situ observations, EuroGOOS for European partnerships in operational oceanography – Goal: ensure the necessary links upstream with observation providers downstream with centres and projects – Bilateral meetings in 2012

EUMETSAT observations for the GMES Marine Service  EUMETSAT missions feed the MyOcean service Jason-2 derived Sea Surface Topography MSG & EPS derived SST, Sea Ice & Surface Winds  Future missions operated by EUMETSAT will continue Jason series for Sea Surface Topography Sentinel-3 for Sea Surface Topography, SST, ocean color, … MTG & post-EPS for SST, Sea Ice, Winds… Need to consolidate the EUMETSAT & MyOcean/ECOMF respective scopes of activities (level of processing, mono- & multi-sensor, cal/val, ….)

EUMETSAT in MyOcean review & guidance  MyOcean Review Process MyOcean Review Process inspired by EUMETSAT processes Lorenzo Sarlo (co-chair) & Frederic Gasiglia (member) of the MyOcean Review Board: thanks for the strong & more than helpful involvement  MyOcean Advisory Committee Lorenzo Sarlo & Paul Counet as EUMETSAT representatives We hope that it will continue for MyOcean2 Importance of MyOcean2 Review Process (inspired by EUMETSAT CDOP one)
