4 Mohn-Sverdrup Inauguration Seminar, 20 October 2004 Copyright 20©02, NERSC/lhp MONCOZE Main Goal Develop, test and demonstrate a pilot system for monitoring and prediction of the Norwegian Coastal Zone Environment, with special focus on current, temperature and salinity and their influence on water quality (primary production, eutrophication and harmful algal blooms). Bruce Hackett, Lars Petter Røed, Jon Albretsen (met.no) Einar Svendsen, Henrik Søyland, Morten Skogen, Didrik Danielsen (IMR) Johnny A. Johannessen, Nina Winther, Lasse Pettersson, Laurent Bertino (NERSC) Funded by Norwegian Research Council 2001-2005

16 Mohn-Sverdrup Inauguration Seminar, 20 October 2004 Copyright 20©02, NERSC/lhp From MONCOZE to Operational Oceanography Monitoring -Monitoring - Satellite observations - in-situ observing network - rapid transmission - near real time processing and distribution. Modeling -Modeling - State characterization and prediction - episodic occurances of extreme events - reanalyses - time series. Products -Products - Current and eddies - temperature - salinity - layer structure - sea level - algae concentration and distribution - eutrophication - pollution - oil dispersion and spreading. Services -Services - Routine information flow to public and specialized users Management -Management - More reliable impact, effect analyses, reporting Security -Security - Ship detection, Search and Rescue, Pollution monitoring

17 Mohn-Sverdrup Inauguration Seminar, 20 October 2004 Copyright 20©02, NERSC/lhp From MONCOZE to Operational Oceanography ARE WE DONE??? ---ON THE WAY BUT NEED ADVANCES IN Coverage of the entire Norwegian Coast In-situ observing network with rapid transmission and near real time processing (ships, buoys,gliders). Coastal observatories at tie-point including HF-radar (CODAR) systems. Hydrological modelling-river runoff-nutrient loads Ecosystem modelling and two-way nesting of models into the fjords with very fine (100 m) resolution. LETS HOPE WE HAVE THIS IN PLACE BEFORE THE BIG ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER HAPPENS WITHIN OUR EXCLUSIVE MARINE ECONOMIC ZONE
