Generalities of the Project
Name: Growth and innovation in ocean economy – Gaps and priorities in seasasin observation and data – LOT NO: 2 – THE MEDITERRANEAN
Duration: 36 months (4/12/2013 – 3/12/2016)

The Concepts
• The concept of Check Points was first introduced within the Marine Knowledge 2020• No comprehensive overview on a sea basin scale of gaps and the fitness for purpose of the present monitoring for different application areas.
• The basin checkpoints stand at the end of a long value adding chain and they feed back to the European Data Collection Framework by assessing the quality of the monitoring Systems.
The EMODnet – MedSea Checkpoint serves to assess the quality,extract the synergies between and identify the gaps of, the present monitoring data sets for the entire Mediterranean Sea in view of seven applications or ‘challenges’

The Challenges and their targeted Products
The Methodologies
THE BASIC ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Establishment of a metadatabase or CheckPoint information database: a framework for the collection of info related to input data
Definition of objectiveassessment criteriafor the production of‘adequacy’ indicators
Analysis of the fitnessfor use and fitnesspurpose of the inputdatasets with respect tospecific Challengetargeted products
Two ‘Territories’ need to be evaluated in terms of Challenge requirements
Appropriateness: What is made available to the Challenges and what the inherent properties of such data sets are
Availability: How the input data sets are made available to users

The Service
The Checkpoint service allows the users to search and discover input datasets through different users interfaces
BROWSER DASHBOARD GIS
http://www.emodnet-mediterranean.eu/checkpoint-service/
Facilitates the searchof the checkpointinformation producedby challenges (nonexpert users, Google-like search function )
Presents and evaluatescheckpoint indicatorsautomatically producedfrom the checkpointinformation database
Offers Standard search, discovery and viewing functions of checkpoint info on input datasets - links tocatalogues
The main resultsThe main results achieved today from the point of view of the indicators are:
• Checkpoint service providing a platform of different tools for periodic assessments and allowing users to search and discover the available input datasets. The major assessments so far:
• the majority of the data sets are accessible through an online delivery service;
• the data policy is partially restricted;• most of the data are free of charge;• the responsiveness in terms of data acquisition is generally high
• A detalied Data Adequacy Report (to be re‐issued at the end)
General expected results:• Identification of gaps and prioritization of the needs• recommendations for future developments to better meet theapplication requirements

An industrial research project funded by the Italian Ministry for Education and Research, underthe “Piano Operativo Nazionale 2007 – 2013”
The project’s aim: strengthening and consolidating the operational oceanographic services inItaly and in particular in its southern seas. Integrating marine‐weather and ocean forecastsand analyses with advanced technological platforms that will allow an unprecedenteddissemination of environmental information for the "Situational Sea Awareness".

TESSA service portfolio: multi‐channel and multi‐device DSS
Weather marine forecasting service for the Mediterranean Sea. MySeaConditions: customized forecast for registered users (favorite places,bulletins, customized notifications)
A service providing optimized nautical routes in the Mediterranean Sea. Theoptimization regards total navigation time, taking into account safety of navigation.The computation of the routes depends on model forecast of sea-state.
A service provided to support maritime authorities and operational centres duringsearch-and-rescue operations. Using OCEAN-SAR to simulate the possibletrajectories of persons or objects lost at sea allows a better prioritisation of thesearch areas and increases the chance of a successful rescue.
