Links and common regions with other FP7 initiatives
-EuroSITES has existing ocean observing infrastructure in many climate sensitive regions common to e.g. ESONET, EMSO and HERMIONE -Collaborations include joint science demonstration missions, sharing of expertise and data management, joint outreach/dissemination activities, joint meetings and planning for future integrated programmes-- Identify gaps: Spatial, vertical or temporal and link with international e.g. initiatives e.g. NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI), NEPTUNE etc

EuroSITES: Platforms for monitoring ‘good environmental status of our seas’
EuroSITES observatories already produce datasets for many ECVs (in red)
EuroSITES also monitors additional variables e.g. oxygen, particle flux and are trialling e.g. irradiance, pH
updated list of GCOS and the UNFCCC list of Atmospheric and Oceanic ECV’s
![Page 23: EuroSITES – State of Play Dr. Kate Larkin National Oceanography Centre, UK](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814802550346895db534bc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
EuroSITES: Towards an operational network Contributing to maritime policy
EuroSITES in situ atmospheric and ocean datasets can contribute to European maritime policy through the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and OSPAR
EuroSITES ECVs and other variables can be used as key in situ datasets for the MSFD targets and 11 ‘descriptors’ e.g. Biodiversity, fisheries, eutrophication (open ocean = productivity; chl-a, nutrients), seafloor integrity, contaminants, marine litter, underwater noise, marine food webs
EuroSITES results already inform National policy in Europe: e.g. UK EuroSITES PAP time-series results contributed to the Charting Progress II report
![Page 24: EuroSITES – State of Play Dr. Kate Larkin National Oceanography Centre, UK](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814802550346895db534bc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Towards an integrated ocean observing system
EuroSITES time-series are essential reference stations e.g. calibration for Argo floats in the Irminger Basin, North Atlantic, using EuroSITES CIS mooring as a reference station

Future enhancements to sensors/samplers can be driven by both science and policy-As testbed platforms for scientific advancement -As operational platforms for monitoring
Applications: Ecology and biogeochemistry of the oceans, biodiversity and molecular / genetic information for species detection e.g. HABs, pollution/oil spills
e.g. Aerosols-Aerosol Fe-other trace elements
e.g. Molecular/GeneticEnvironmentalSample Processor (MBARI)
e.g. Hydrocarbon detection and Chemical speciation using Mass Spectrometry

EuroSITES is a mature, existing infrastructure contributing to ESFRII through EMSO.
Future: develop and enhance EuroSITES, moving towards a European Multidisciplinary Sea Observatory Network integrating the science objectives, infrastructure and technology of e.g. EuroSITES, ESONET
Also key infrastructures for marine component of ICOS (RICCO)

In SummaryEuroSITES is a marine research infrastructure already delivering key in situ atmsopheric and ocean data and linking science with user needs…..
-Essential Climate Variables (atmospheric and ocean ECVs)-Open access in near real-time to in situ multidisciplinary datasets-Key data contributor/stakeholder for:a)GOOS through OceanSITES b)GMES-GISC through MCS - MyOceanc)EMDONET – data are used in pilot portals e.g. physical datad)SeaDataNet – data are archived through National Data Centres-Policy: Key observations for scientific knowledge, contributing to National maritime policy, MSFD for the sustainable management of ocean resources-Modelling applications: Through MyOcean/Mercator-Ocean, projects e.g. SESAME and MEECE and National Initiatives (validation, reanalysis)-Contributions to GEO through GOOS task, SBAs climate, ecosystems etc-Reference for other platforms: EuroSITES fixed-point data are used as a reference for other platforms e.g. ARGO
![Page 31: EuroSITES – State of Play Dr. Kate Larkin National Oceanography Centre, UK](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814802550346895db534bc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
In the future, EuroSITES can build on existing Infrastructure and expertise to increase scientific and economic impact of ocean observations by developing even stronger links with users, policy and industry
-Socio-economics: Increase links with socio-economic users and policy building on existing expertise e.g. HERMIONE
-Innovation: Build on the EuroSITES R&D for emerging sensor technology (linking with SME’s, public-private partnerships and international initiatives e.g. OOI, NEPTUNE)
-Datasets: Expand datasets, availability and users: - New ocean variables in near real-time, greater depth and time resolution- Establish better metadata for all datasets - wider use in modelling activities – towards ‘forecasting applications’- Continue to develop EuroSITES contribution to data management initiatives e.g. SeaDataNet, EMODNET, GEO Data Core

Long-term continuity is a major challenge. EuroSITES and other platforms now need to establish a mechanism for sustained support from both National and European funding to secure these observations/datasets for the long-term..The cost may be high, but is it higher than the cost of losing these valuable observation datasets?
