MyOcean2 Annual Operation Review # 1 Cork, April 2013 A deep internal involvement A improved decision process: – The Executive Committee Bureau (ECB: Marina, Sylvie, Bruce, Alistair, Vincent, Joël): Analyses the issues to be submitted to the Executive Committee -> technical dossiers, preliminary trade-offs Proposes decisions for the Exec. Com. Avoids useless preliminary discussions Some Examples: V3 and V4 requirements, WMS for all products, without authentication, Surface fluxes in reanalyses, Wave parameters, Hindcast definition, Major accounts and Specific Core Products, Merging PUMS and QuIDs, AOR organisation – Work structured and coordinated by cross-cutting work packages – A more mature way of working (within the Executive Committee): Well known decision processes Clear roles and responsibilities

MyOcean2 Annual Operation Review # 1 Cork, April 2013 A deep internal involvement Specific internal work about requirements (for V3 and V4: – In depth analysis of MyOcean status and outputs – Internal consultation at the start of the project (from Kick- Off to June 2012 in Barcelona): significant and relevant feedback from WP leaders – A lot of important decisions taken quite quickly at the Barcelona Executive Committee meeting: user profiles, visualization, Authenticated FTP, archiving, priorities for the CIS, internal interfaces and data flows, etc… – Same process used for evolutions and other decisions (Toulouse and Madrid Exex. Comm. Meetings). Preparation of the MyOcean PDR at T0+3 and T0+6 (while it was T in MyOcean).

MyOcean2 Annual Operation Review # 1 Cork, April 2013 Next steps

MyOcean2 Annual Operation Review # 1 Cork, April 2013 Next steps Main activity: preparation of V4: – Final MyOcean Service version, to be operated 6 months during the project (April 2014 – Sep. 2014) – Intermediate versions for new products or system functions (CIS) will be defined Reporting of the first period (May 2013) Preparation of the post-MyOcean2 phase in the frame of Copernicus: ECOMF

MyOcean2 Annual Operation Review # 1 Cork, April 2013 Some challenges in the year to come Internal: – Involvement, reactivity, acting as a single entity: still needs strong efforts: not an easy task, given the size and the structure of the project – Reduce delays in each delivery or contribution: this is one major issue (example: integration and transition phases) – Keep enthusiasm in our “daily” tasks: this not the end of the story, but the beginning! – Maintain our Service and System State-of-the-Art, well integrated Internal & External: – Prepare, develop and deliver V4 (and intermediate versions) – Take new user requirements into account (from UWS in particular) External: – Engage even more the users in the Service, downstream sector – Maintain and develop relationships with main providers (Space, InSitu), European Agencies, main stakeholders – Be prepared to ECOMF...
