7. Marine Core Service 7th GHRSST-PP Science Team Meeting, Melbourne Australia, 14-18th May 2007 Core values of the Project 1. GMES is about developing the European added- value : build and set up the “European Core” service 2. Joining up and making it all work together 3. Start from existing core systems (Medspiration, MARCOAST, GlobColour, MERSEA…) 4. Be service oriented (GDAC) 5. Be simple but fully operational 6. Ensure full connection with the Regional and International networks (GHRSST-PP, MISST, AU- RDAC…) 7. Involve users in the success of the project 8. Ensure quality, and make sure to link operational / research MCS

19. Marine Core Service 7th GHRSST-PP Science Team Meeting, Melbourne Australia, 14-18th May 2007 Rationale for Services Break-down Services Service Agreement and Monitoring (S1) Service Provision (S2) User Engagement (WPS3- WPS5) n Separation of –definition of service (S1) from delivery (S2) –Delivery (S2) from exploratory engagement (S3-S5) n Teams involved differ n Opportunities for discussion forums involving all TACs/MFCs

20. Marine Core Service 7th GHRSST-PP Science Team Meeting, Melbourne Australia, 14-18th May 2007 Nature of Service Level Agreements n Provider: either a TAC or an MFC n Receiver: an external user or a production unit n SLA supervisor: independent but internal to project: has facilitating, coordinating, monitoring and policing roles n Each SLA is a simple unit (enables scaleable distributed system) n SLAs should enable flexibility and autonomy within defined constraints n SLAs are a well established discipline Production unit provider Service receiver SLA supervisor SLA

21. Marine Core Service 7th GHRSST-PP Science Team Meeting, Melbourne Australia, 14-18th May 2007 The Thematic Assembly Centers : an essential component of the MCS n TACs will feed the global and regional components of the MCS in observation products for space and in situ data. n From observation systems to the service centres. Specific requirements from modelling and data assimilations centers as well as from users and downstream services.

23. Marine Core Service 7th GHRSST-PP Science Team Meeting, Melbourne Australia, 14-18th May 2007 SST TAC Production Centre (1) n Aim: Operate a European Service providing comprehensive SST products for GMES applications n Constraint 1: MCS services should be available from 2008 (V0). There shall be no interruption of on going products delivery when My Ocean starts: MERSEA, Medspiration, GHRSST, GlobColour, PolarView, … products remain available for the community. –L2P, L4, L3 n Constraint 2 : EC requires a rigorous development and qualification logic to guarantee the operationality of the MCS service and system.

27. Marine Core Service 7th GHRSST-PP Science Team Meeting, Melbourne Australia, 14-18th May 2007 Issues for GHRSST-PP n Interoperability and standards (netCDF CF-1.0, MMR, L2P, L3P (?), L4, HRDDS, MDB) n Interface standards (ICD, SIS, SLA) n Operational GHRSST-PP messaging and system status ‘dashboard’ n Operational redundancy for GDAC services But separation of some services (MDB, HRDDS, MMR, LTSRF) n GDAC  GDAC should be the same from a user perspective. n User registrations (note MyOcean data will be freely available) n Need to have JPL GDAC and EU GDAC discussions this week (stared already…)
