2. Marine Core Service MY OCEAN MyOcean What it is all about

3. Marine Core Service MyOcean: a service, a team, a project n MyOcean is a SERVICE –The main component of the « GMES » Marine Service –Global & Regional Ocean monitoring and forecasting –Information based on Data Combination and assimilative Models –Currents, Temperature, Salinity, Sea level, Ice, …. GMES Marine Service n MyOcean is a TEAM of European partners –61 partners out of 29 countries ; ~450 people involved –20 core partners committed for operations; european best monitoring and forecasting systems Pan-European team n MyOcean is a PROJECT –An EC/FP7 project, the GMES « Marine Fast Track » project –3 years ; has started on 1st April 2009, will end 31 March 2012 –Budget 18 M€/year, with 11 M€/year EC funding 2009 – 2010 – 2011 – 2012

6. Marine Core Service n Baltic Sea Marine Forecasting Center (MFC) – WP6 partners Baltic Sea MFC: The partners SMHI (Sweden) DMI (Denmark) BSH (Germany) FMI (Finland) MSI (Estonia)

7. Marine Core Service Baltic Sea MFC: Model development Goal: Integrate existing operational Baltic Sea models into one operational forecasting system: HIROMB-BOOS-Model HBM BSHcmod at BSH HIROMB at SMHI 1995 DMI- BSHcmod at DMI 2001 HBM V0 HBM V1 FMI & MSI Time HBM V2

8. Marine Core Service Baltic Sea MFC: The HBM physical model n HBM V1 Currently running at SMHI, DMI, BSH. (FMI to follow.) 2 daily 60 hour forecasts (00Z and 12Z). 3 nautical mile horizontal grid, 17 vertical output levels (V1). (DMI and BSH run high resolution nested grids in the Danish Straits and German Bight.) Output Parameters – sea level, ice cover, ice thickness, current (u, v), salinity, temperature. Data assimilation (SMHI & DMI) – SST, sea ice, salt and temperature from IceMap, satellite, ferrybox and buoys. Output to 3nm grid in NetCDF format.

9. Marine Core Service Baltic Sea MFC: The HBM biochemical models n HBM V1 Coupled to biogeochemical model: HBM-ERGOM (DMI) HIROMB-SCOBI (SMHI) V1 Operational since June 1st 2011 20 year reanalysis, HBM V2 since December 15th 2011
