2nd MAC meetingJune 16th, 2010 - Hambourg

Agenda items– R&D approach– Main drivers for MyOcean2– MyOcean user approach– Links with EuroGOOS

Main outcomes– R&D approach

• Validation of “Tier” Concept

• Steering of R&D activities by user requirements

• Need for a long term strategy (10 year target) revised on annual basis

• MyOcean/MCS to be prepared for the challenge linked to climate monitoring contribution

• Attractiveness of R&D activities for the research community, if contribution to a world-leading level operational service

Marine Core Service

2nd MAC meetingJune 16th, 2010 - Hambourg

Main outcomes (cont’d)– Main drivers for MyOcean2

• User uptake

– Importance of product quality and outreach / training activities

– Tailor the user approach to the various user communities• Service provided

– Core service scope to be consolidated

– Product quality is part of the service definition

– Service qualification to be based on existing operational model

– Involvement of downstream level in service verification• System architecture

– Transition towards an operational environment forces the implementation of a stable architecture

– User acceptance for the service provision scheme.

Marine Core Service

2nd MAC meetingJune 16th, 2010 - Hambourg

Main outcomes (cont’d)– MyOcean User Approach

• Plan outreach activities dedicated to national users, private sector, European and international bodies

• Target intermediate users: R&D projects and actions tailored for the private sector

– Links with EuroGOOS• EuroGOOS tasks will include the promotion of operational

oceanography in regional seas:– Coordination and promotion of observation activities,– Coordination of downstream requirements for core services– Elaboration of standards for operational oceanography– Participation in projects for further developing and improving

operational oceanographic services

A second EU FP7 Project….

From preparation to negotiation– Preparation from May to November 2010

• Involvement of MyOcean partners• Lessons learned from MyOcean

– Proposal submitted on time (November 25th, 2010) – Positive evaluation in February 2011– Negotiation from April to September 2011

MyOcean2 proposal (before negotiation)

– Start: April 2012 – End: September 2014 (2.5 years)– Total budget: 41 M€ with 28 M€ (11.2 M€/an) UE FP7 Grant– 60 partners – 28 countries – ~350 persons ; ~150 persons-year

Marine Core Service

Main improvements / evolutions wrt MyOcean2

Streamlined Service Approach– User-driven approach– Main functionalities gathered in a single WP

A closer link with the national level, user uptake– Dedicated activities for benefiting from national expertise– Coll. With EuroGOOS, Structured in line with EuroGOOS regional approach

(ROOSes)– Dedicated activities for user training

Operational Production Centers– Consolidated functionalities– Links with cross-cutting activities

Dedicated cross-cutting activities on key issues– Product Quality, Multi-Year Assessment, R&D (Tier-1)

Consolidated management– Technical issues: Executive Committee Bureau– Annual Operation Review– Preparation of ECOMF

More structured outreach, training & communication activities

ECOMF

To lead the GMES Marine Service, we are promoting « ECOMF » (European Centre for Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting)

At short-term (ie 2011), we propose to form « ECOMF » as a MoU between the 14 core partners of MyOcean/MyOcean2– Mercator Ocean, Met Office, INGV, NERSC, DMI, Puertos del

Estado, MHI, HCMR, CLS, Ifremer, SHMI, CNR, met.no, BSH

The goal is to bring to the fore our partnership in the discussion with EC and GMES stakeholders.

GMES Marine

Marine Core Service

ECOMF: the leading entity for the GMES Marine Service provision

• Single service concept

• European distribution of the service provision: involvement of main national institutions

• Free & open access to information (“public good”)

Marine Core Service

Funding approach

GMES data policy impact → ECOMF overall funding to be provided by EU and national authorities

National public funding → Applicable to national part of ECOMF capacities→ Should be guaranteed in the long-term

EU funding model : options identified (GMES Regulation)• Funding lines: Grants or Public Procurement Contracts• Management: directly by EU or through Delegation

Agreements

→ The EU funding scheme will directly impact the ECOMF governance model

Marine Core Service

3 actions the Board has in mind

User Forum : – This is a formal user consultation process organized by

GMES Bureau : the MyOcean User Workshop initiative will contribute

Cost analysis– There is a need to produce a good cost analysis of the

GMES Marine Service ; the last one was made through BOSS4GMES and needs improvements ; you may be contacted

ECOMF : – There is a need to demonstrate further the value of our

partnership, and its long-term sustainability ; we plan to start with a MoU
