MyOcean Towards a European Ocean Monitoring Service MyOcean is an EU funded R&D project (FP7) which fits into the European Earth monitoring programme GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security). 9th July 2012 Project leader: National responsible: Vlado Malačič B. Petelin, M. Ličer, D. Žagar (FGG UNI-LJ)

A unique dynamic and 3D vision of the Ocean ANYWHERE (Global + 6 Regional Seas) FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP AT ANY TIME (past, present, future) REAL TIME or PAST PERIOD Ice Temperature Salinity Biogeochemical Sea Level Currents

Project Objectives & Areas of benefits What is the project designed to achieve? To deliver reliable and accurate 3D depictions of the whole ocean in the past (25 years), present (real time) and future (10 days), to support European/Member states decision makers in the Environment and Security fields to foster user applications related to the marine environment. Why is this project important for Europe? MyOcean gathers the best European skills, data and systems to offer state-of-the-art information on the ocean state and evolution. This is a unique and high-value service for public and private purposes. How does this project benefit European citizens? European citizens are all concerned by Environment and Security. Out of many areas of benefits, MyOcean services are useful for reinforcing safety at sea (offshore operations, search & rescue…) combatting oil spills, monitoring water quality, assessing environmental impact, delivering data for Climate Change scenarios, protecting living marine resources, harnessing thermal water energy predicting coastal erosion (…). How does the project achieve these goals (MV comment)? By organized collaboration among European partners 3

9th July 2012 EC, Ljubljana 6 NIB-MBS as MyOcean partner Marine Biology Station of NIB participated in the project MyOcean with two work packages : WP9 – Cal/Val - calibration and validation of numerical models for the Mediterranean, providing: Daily averaged data of the oceanographic buoy Vida (temperature, salinity and velocity of sea currents) - operational since February 2010 (buoy is operational since 2002) Daily averaged results of the numerical model North Adriatic Princeton Ocean Model – NAPOM (temperature, salinity, velocity of sea currents and sea surface elevation at predefined stations) - operational since June 2011 WP18 – Marine Safety - prediction of the spread of oil spils in the Slovenian Sea through numerical models of NAPOM (NIB-MBS) and NAFTA (University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering)

Conclusions MyOcean 2 is one of a few projects that had been only slightly reduced MyOcean a successful project: delivers about 215 oceanographic products available through a single catalogue it is open and free We are worried about our possibility to work on MyOcean 2 in 2013 and later: Funding of maintenance/repair of Vida after five years of continuous operation (65 k), out of scope of MyOcean 2 Heavy situation in a country lack of financing human potential - could affect the work on MyOcean 2 13EC, Ljubljana Up to date the MyOcean (2) project is the best scientific/technological European umbrella for coastal ocean studies. Therefore: we will fight and accomplish what we promissed
