E-SURFMAR
Surface Marine Observation Programme Part of the Eumetnet Composite Observation System (EUCOS) Optional: 17 participant members only
Objectives to coordinate, optimise and progressively integrate the European activities for surface observations over the sea in support of Numerical Weather Predictions
Two components Conventionnels Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS) or ships equipped with Automated Weather Stations (S-AWS) Drifting or moored Data Buoys

Data Buoys
E-SURFMAR
operates a network of about 100 drifting buoys measuring air pressure and sea surface temperature in the North Atlantic and which make their data available in real time onto the Global Telecommunication System of WMO
coordinates the moored buoys activities of EUMETNET members and most especially the UK, Irish and French networks of K-pattern buoys
financially and technically supports the operation of 4 moored buoys as a baseline for the calibration and the validation of satellite-derived wind and wave observations
invites and helps non-EUMETNET members operating moored buoy networks in European waters to report their data onto the GTS as support to the World Weather Watch… and monitors these data

Moored Buoys (Mediterranean Networks)
Puertos del Estado, SpainISPRA, Italy (RON)HCMR, Greece (Poseidon)
Data from these networks are reported in BUFR only The quality of ISPRA buoys data does not reach WMO standards presently. They had to be removed from the GTS (waves excepted)

VOS Ships
E-SURFMAR
supports the activities of European Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS) in order to better coordinate and harmonise practices
operates an increasing fleet of Shipborne Automated Weather Stations (S-AWS) in support of the programme network design
provides a suitable forum to setup common specifications for the future procurements of such stations (call for tender to be issued)

Cooperations
E-SURFMAR
contributes to the World Weather Watch of WMO - all observations are reported onto its Global Telecommunication System in real time -, and the GMES Marine Core Service
closely works with the JCOMM Data Cooperation Panel and the JCOMM Ship Observation Team (JCOMM = Joint WMO-IOC Commission of Oceanography and Marine Meteorology)
cooperates with NOAA and the Meteorological Service of Canada, as well as with Puertos del Estado and other European oceanographic agencies among MOON members
