EuroGOOS Annual Meeting 2009/10/06-2009/10/08
2b: Contribution of open ocean observatories to GEO Data Core – Biodiversity, Ecosystems and Health
Richard Lampitt, Kate Larkin and the EuroSITES Consortium
GEO GEPW5 8-9 February 2010
EuroSITES data management implements GEOSS data sharing principles
From GEO Work Plan 2009-2011:AR-09-03: Advocating for Sustained Observing Systems: Global Ocean Observation System (GOOS, IEEE, IOC)
- Improve the global coverage and data accuracy of the coastal/ open ocean observing systems as well as the management and archiving of the resulting data and information. -Building on existing capabilities, develop a global coordinated information and data system for deep-ocean monitoring to better understand the dynamics of the ocean processes throughout the ocean water column.
Data management: As the European component of the OceanSITES network, EuroSITES is building on existing initiatives to improve data discovery, availability, near real-time access, traceability (e.g. metadata) and dissemination of in situ ocean data
Data management
-Common data policy and Open Access following OceanSITES and Community data policy (INSPIRE Directive) and GEOSS Data Sharing Principles for Free and Open Access-Real-time delivery and QC data (data/metadata) -Accessible data e.g. Websites (EuroSITES), ftp (OceanSITES), MyOcean (in situ TAC), GTS-Interoperability: Interchangeable format for both data (OceanSITES NetCDF v1.1) and metadata (towards SensorML) and quality assurance
EuroSITES Data Access www.eurosites.info
e.g. Central Irminger Sea
e.g. Porcupine Abyssal Plain
EuroSITES Data DownloadCORIOLIS, Ifremer: OceanSITES GDAC
ftp site and data portal
ftp://ftp.ifremer.fr/ifremer/oceansites/DATA/
Data discovery: EuroSITES is a key contributor of data to EMODNET pilot portals e.g. physical pilot portal
real-time data delivery delayed mode data
Model applications: EuroSITES is an in situ data provider to GMES through MyOcean (in situ TAC)-Daily delivery of physical datasets through MyOcean and to the GTS for the modelling community-Delayed mode data are used for validation of open ocean physical-biogeochemical models. Currently R&D. Future operational delivery.
Services and products: e.g. Marine Resources. Cape Verde physical variables
Slide from Pierre Bahurel
EuroSITES platforms are essential reference stations
Calibration for Euro-Argoe.g. Irminger Basin, North AtlanticUsing EuroSITES CIS mooring as a reference station

Towards Good Environmental Status of our seas:Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Health
1. Enhance the capability for near real-time data flow of biogeochemical data (Technology, QC, tagging, metadata)
2. Enhance access and uses of delayed mode data e.g. species identification using genetic/molecular approaches, time-lapse photography
E.g. Near real-time biogeochemical datasets from the EuroSITES CIS observatory, Irminger Sea, North Atlantic
