EuroGOOS/SEPRISE

Operation of regional ocean monitoring systems in Europe


• An association of agencies founded in 1994 to promote and coordinate the European part of GOOS (Global Ocean Observing System), and a system for operational oceanography in Europe

• EuroGOOS now has 33 members in 17 countries• Almost all coastal European countries and operational

institutes are engaged through sub-regional operational oceanographic systems BOOS, NOOS, IBIROOS, MOON and close cooperation with Black Sea GOOS and MedGOOS

• Promote Operational Oceanography• Find ways to improve the members capability to carry out their

duties• Foster a sustained production of required services at scales larger

than national• Find the most efficient use of members available resources• Promote the funding of research and development• Foster cooperation• Give advice and submit joint position papers• To coordinate with the global systems• Sharing and learning from best practices, e.g. through conferences,

publications, workshops,…

SEPRISE is one instrument to achieve this

EuroGOOS Objectives


EuroGOOS is working at a “political” scale

• The members constitute EuroGOOS

• EuroGOOS is the sum of the members capabilities

• EuroGOOS is not a project, operational unit, or service provider

• EuroGOOS is a catalyst, organiser and promoter

EuroGOOS


Coordination

EuroGOOS chose very early a user-driven bottom-up approach where the regional scale was the most appropriate scale for cooperation and co-production.

EuroGOOS Regional Task Teams have built and continue to build Regional Operational Systems.

• The SEPRISE project is coordinated by the EuroGOOS office

• Sponsored by the European Commission


Main questions:• What do we have? Observation networks, products

and services• What more do we need?• How can we satisfy the marine industry?• How can we use deliveries from European research

projects?• How do we organise a sustained production?• Demonstration, do we have the capability of

cooperation (real-time data exchange)?

SEPRISE Project


What observations do we have?


SEPRISE Demonstration

• To demonstrate the European capacity in operational oceanography

• To demonstrate the ability to collaborate between oceanographers across Europe

• We collect real time data (sea level, waves, currents, SST, SSS and wind) and model forecasts that are exchanged hourly from all over Europe and visualize it on the SEPRISE demonstration web site


• Number of stations in the demo system (so far): 338

• Producing 631 time-series

• 461 of these are freely available (will be released on ftp shortly)

• ~ 80% of these time-series have corresponding model output

• Remote sensing SST added shortly




Does it work?


European/Global scale from Coriolis (daily/weekly updates)
