1 Use the Data! Fisheries Natural Hazards Near Term (Storm Surge) Long Term (Sea Level Variability) Weather and Climate Marine Operations Public Health Marine Ecosystems Marine Resources Slide 2 2 Implementation Deployments Float Provider Participate in the Donor Program Coordinate Access to Operations in EEZs UNCLOS Logistics at Embarkation Points WMO Information System (WIS) Education (K 12) Slide 3 3 Exeter Slide 4 4 Slide 5 5 Slide 6 6 EEZs/Law of the Sea/Operational Oceanography Slide 7 7 Slide 8 8 Courtesy of Howard Freeland Slide 9 9 IOC/ABE-LOS I.Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commissions Advisory Body of Experts on the Law of the Sea II.Composed of both marine scientists and law of the sea experts III.Seventh annual meeting in Gabon March 2007 Slide 10 10 ABE-LOS TASK (1) I.Draft legal framework for the collection of oceanographic data, within the context of the Law of the Sea (LOS) Convention (IOC Assembly Resolution XXII-12 (2003)) (IOC Assembly Resolution XXII-12 (2003)) Slide 11 11 ABE-LOS TASK (2) I.Develop practical guidelines for Deployment of floats on high seas that may drift into EEZsDeployment of floats on high seas that may drift into EEZs Deployment of floats and surface drifting buoys in EEZsDeployment of floats and surface drifting buoys in EEZs Deployment of XBTs by ships of opportunity in EEZsDeployment of XBTs by ships of opportunity in EEZs (IOC Assembly Resolution XXIII-8 (2005)) Slide 12 12 Meteorological Data I.- UNCLOS III decided collection of marine meteorological data is not MSR II.- Analogous is routine collection of ocean observations distributed freely and openly, and used for monitoring and forecasting ocean state, weather (meteorology) and climate Slide 13 13 OPERATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHY PROGRAMS I.All have same characteristics: II.Sustained, systematic, reliable and robust mission activities with institutional commitment to deliver appropriate, cost-effective products and services Slide 14 14 MSR v. OTHER FORMS OF MARINE DATA COLLECTION I.Although the means of data collection are often the same (and may appear indistinguishable from MSR), it is the intended use to which the data is to be put that distinguishes MSR from surveys, operational oceanography, and exploration/exploitation of resources Slide 15 15 SUMMARY I.- Not all methods of collection of data about the oceans is MSR regulated by Part XIII II.- Lack of agreed definitions results in differences of views on the legal regimes governing particular forms of marine data collection: MSR Surveys Operational Oceanography Exploration and exploitation of resourcesMSR Surveys Operational Oceanography Exploration and exploitation of resources III.- Understanding and clarification needed Slide 16 16 OPERATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHY I.- Not mentioned in LOS Convention II.- Routine collection of standard data sets Temperature, pressure, currents, salinity, windTemperature, pressure, currents, salinity, wind Atmosphere, air-sea interface, oceansAtmosphere, air-sea interface, oceans III.- Monitoring and Forecasting Ocean state estimationOcean state estimation Weather - MeteorologyWeather - Meteorology Climate predictionClimate prediction IV.- Near real time transmission, near real time availability to public Slide 17 17 Benin Mr. George Degbe Representative de Benin Gabon Dr Pierre MAGANGA DGDM / Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation, Francophony and Regional Integration Libreville Kenya Dr Johnson M.

Global T av : 0 1000m The 2004 2006 global cooling is partly due to tropical interannual variability and partly due to isopycnal shoaling in the Atlantic thermocline.
