ETOOFS - role
Goal:
Improve the quality of services provided by the agencies of member states in their respective theme
Types of Objectives:
Develop guidance for operational agencies and encourage best practices and standardisation
Develop and maintain requirements documentation for operational systems
Coordination of operational monitoring
Coordinate actions to address identified deficiencies in services
Capacity building

ETOOFS – membership (JCOMM III)
GOVST, ESA-HQ, Paris, France, 14th-18th November 2011
ETOOFS and GOVST
Shared advocacy for OOFS – relationship clarified
GOVST – composed of science and technology experts
ETOOFS – composed of operations and services experts
Community is not large so some overlaps between groups
e.g., myself, Eric, Hendrik and Fraser
ETOOFS bring new competencies to the coordination
e.g., Frank Bub, Alistair Sellar
Direct linkages
TT-OSE => Observational requirements for OOFS
TT-IV => Operational monitoring for OOFS

ETOOFS workplan (JCOMM IV)
GOVST, ESA-HQ, Paris, France, 14th-18th November 2011
The Commission endorsed the workplan of ETOOFS to liaise with the seasonal climate forecasting community to identify the best approach for the coordination of seasonal climate forecasting and in particular prepare a recommendation specifying the role required from JCOMM and to facilitate the implementation of the approved recommendation
New plan - seasonal
First stepsConsult Magdalena, Oscar, Michelle Reineker et al.Member in ETOOFS (recommendations)
GOVST, ESA-HQ, Paris, France, 14th-18th November 2011
The Commission noted the ETOOFS workplan to develop an ocean extremes monitoring system which will establish a suite of ocean variables and indices together with their reference variability/probability density (Action). The Commission encouraged contributions from the member states in both ocean observations and modelling (Recommendation).
New plan – ocean extremes
First stepsLeverage off multi-ensemble productsLiaise with OOAPMember of ETOOFS and link to OOAP working group (recommendations)
GOVST, ESA-HQ, Paris, France, 14th-18th November 2011
The Commission agreed on the role of ETOOFS in the coordination of the strategy for MPERSS outlined under Agenda Item 8.3, and requested the Team to lead the coordination of an extension of capability to fill the gap identified following the recent Fukushima nuclear accident in cooperation with IAEA and partner groups (Action). In doing so, the Commission requested ETOOFS to identify a responsible member within the Team for this task as Activity Leader on marine environmental emergencies (Action). The Commission also requested the ETOOFS to work with ETMSS who should take the lead on the international coordination for meeting the service requirements (Action). Related discussion was recorded under agenda item 8.3.
