DSD-NL 2014 - EU Data Landscape - 3. Jerico 2014 Gorringe_2Deltares
The document discusses operational oceanography data sources and infrastructure in Europe. It describes how data collection has evolved from individual communities collecting data independently for their own needs to a more coordinated, international approach. Key infrastructure discussed includes EMODnet Physics, MyOcean, SeaDataNet, and EuroGOOS regional operational systems. These work to provide integrated access to near real-time and historical ocean data from various platforms using common standards. The approach aims to maximize data sharing and reuse for applications like weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and fisheries management.
The document outlines the objectives and organization of the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) project. The project aims to (1) define appropriate processes and technology to develop a European Marine Observation network, (2) provide initial components of a final operational system, and (3) assemble fragmented marine data into publicly available data streams. It discusses standards, schedule, work packages, data coverage, participating organizations, and the development of a hydrographic portal to access collated marine data.
C1.05: Sustained observations for many users - a perspective from Australia’s...Blue Planet Symposium
Australia is a ‘marine nation’ – an island continent with the third largest ocean territory on the ‘Blue Planet’. Our borders are maritime and we generate massive wealth from marine industries. Most of our population lives in highly urbanised centres on or near the coast, and we are extremely sensitive to ocean-influenced climate and weather, through drought, flood, and tropical cyclones. Our ocean territory contains marine biodiversity of globally significant conservation and tourism value, ranging from the high tropics to Antarctica. These factors combine to establish the need for sustained ocean observing in the Australian context, for many uses and users.
Despite this clear, national need, responsibility for ocean observing and management is fragmented and dispersed. A National Oceans Policy and independent National Oceans Office were established in 1998, but were subsumed into the Federal Environment portfolio by 2005. The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia's national weather agency, and while its role has expanded to encompass climate and water services over the last decade, it is only now beginning to consider an expanded role in marine services. Jurisdiction of the marine environment, including responsibility for marine monitoring, is shared across Federal, State and Territory Governments, across different Departments within those various Governments, and between industrial users and regulators in areas like offshore oil and gas and commercial fishing. It is also significant to note that Australia has no earth observation from space (EOS) capability of its own.
Since 2006, Australia has put in place a national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). Established as a research infrastructure, IMOS routinely operates a wide range of observing equipment, making all of its data openly accessible to the marine and climate science community, other stakeholders and users, and international collaborators. It is integrated from open-ocean to coast, and across physical, chemical and biological ocean variables.
This talk will focus on what has been learnt through the experience of building IMOS as a research infrastructure in a context where sustained ocean observations are needed by many users.
Automated Extraction of Shoreline in Tuban Regency, East Java from Google Ear...Luhur Moekti Prayogo
The edges generated using the Cannyalgorithm are practical in interpreting shorelines and making analysis faster. In the future,there is a need for more elaboration regarding the use of Google Earth imagery in shorelineanalysis, especially in geometric corrections (Georeference). This elaboration is essentialbecause it will affect the analysis results, especially the shoreline position.
This document summarizes a study that uses a lensfree on-chip holographic imaging platform to track the 3D trajectories of over 1000 sperm cells within a large sample volume of ~9 mL at a frame rate of >140 frames per second with sub-micron accuracy. This platform provides long, sub-micron accurate 3D trajectories of a large number of cells. The frame rate was increased to 300 frames per second to track high velocity cells like bovine sperm without losing trajectory details due to undersampling. This large dataset with high accuracy enables discovering rare events like helical sperm trajectories and obtaining their statistical characteristics.
This document introduces bENCs, a new S-57 product containing high density bathymetry data for use in electronic chart systems. BENCs are produced from hydrographic survey data and contain contour lines and spot soundings without other navigational information. They are meant to be used alongside ENCs to provide more detailed depth information for confined water navigation. Potential producers include port and waterway authorities, while potential users are pilots, vessel traffic systems, and software for confined waters. Examples of existing bENC projects include coverage of the River Elbe in Germany and bENCs of the Port of Hamburg produced as part of the EFFORTS project. BENCs offer a simple production process and provide additional value to ECS
This document defines and provides examples of common naval terms in both English and Spanish, including echo sounder, navigator, seabed, chart, barracks, dry dock, disembark, and embark.

The document provides information on single beam and multi beam echo sounders. It discusses the basic principles, components, specifications, corrections, and applications of single beam echo sounders. For multi beam echo sounders, it describes the introduction, basic principles, operation, types, instruments, system, surveys, specifications, applications, and limitations. The key aspects covered are the use of acoustic pulses to measure water depth, the difference between single beam and multi beam techniques, and the advantages of multi beam for more efficiently mapping large sea floor areas.
After a short review of the general principles of vessel and ROV positioning, the specific challenges that surface when carrying out fallpipe works will be treated. Positioning comes in double flavours: absolute versus relative positioning; offshore versus nearshore surveys; planimetric versus vertical positioning. In different circumstances, one has to adopt different approaches to reach both the contractor’s and the client’s goal: a swift execution of the works meeting all parties’ expectations.
Contour lines on a map connect points of equal elevation above sea level. They show the shape and features of the land. There are two main methods for creating contour maps - direct and indirect. The direct method precisely traces contours in the field but is slow. The indirect method takes spot elevations across an area and interpolates the contour lines, making it faster but less precise. Common indirect techniques include surveying on a grid, along cross-sections, or using a tacheometer along radial lines. Contour maps provide topographic information for engineering projects.
Multi-beam echo sounders can be used for more than just bathymetry. They can be used for bottom classification, leak detection, harbor protection, and detecting sunken heavy oil. A test was conducted at the Ohmsett test facility to detect different types of sunken oil using multi-beam echo sounder data and acoustic backscatter properties. The results showed a 91% detection rate of oil areas with a 20% false alarm rate on non-oil areas.
The document discusses future developments in hydrographic software by QPS. It summarizes that QPS will focus on managing increasing data volumes from new sensor technologies through real-time processing and cloud computing. New visualization and user experience techniques will be needed to analyze larger and more complex 4D datasets. QPS will integrate new sensors like sub-bottom profilers and ADCPs into its software suite and optimize workflows. Short term developments at QPS include changes to its product suite and a new feedback voting system.
Citclops is a project that aims to develop citizen observatory applications for monitoring seawater color, transparency and fluorescence using crowdsourced data.

- Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) was established in 2007 with initial NCRIS investment and has grown to include over 10 facility-based national observing systems and over 50% co-investment.
- IMOS provides open access to in-situ ocean data from physics to biology through platforms like Argo floats and ships as well as remote sensing to support marine and climate science and modeling.
- Uptake of IMOS data by the research community has increased understanding of issues like climate change, weather extremes, and ecosystem responses through observations, modeling, and data assimilation.
- IMOS seeks to collaborate further with the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN)
Aopting and adapting SeaDataNet services for EMODnet ChemistryEUDAT
The document summarizes how EMODnet Chemistry is adopting and adapting services from SeaDataNet to unlock fragmented marine chemistry data across Europe. Key points include:
- EMODnet Chemistry aggregates chemistry data from over 100 organizations across 27 countries to produce pan-European data products on topics like eutrophication, ocean acidification, and contaminants.
- It is using SeaDataNet standards for metadata, vocabularies, data formats, and tools to allow discovery, access, and visualization of harmonized chemistry data.
- Services being adopted include the CDI interface, ODV software, DIVA maps, and the Ocean Browser. New vocabularies are also being developed for EMODnet Chemistry.
The document summarizes an initiative called Ocean Data Factory (ODF) which aims to establish Sweden as a leader in sustainable ocean innovation through the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and ocean data. ODF will create an open data platform and infrastructure to make ocean data and tools accessible to researchers, industry, and the public. It introduces the coordinators and partners involved in ODF and outlines the need for such an initiative given increasing interest in the ocean economy and the large amounts of unexplored ocean data.
Dear Mercatorian,
By growing, Mercator resolutely turns towards users.
Such logical development, which comes also within the
wish of creation of the future operational centre, requires
more than ever to offer quality products which will well
reply to the downstream demand.
Correctly integrating observations in the assimilation
system and qualifying their impact stay one of the key
points to reach this objective.
The stake is double: to maintain/improve the operational
system performance, we need to consolidate the
present by demonstrating the importance of the ocean
data measurements: satellite, Argo floats, moorings and
others in situ measurement instruments, ... Furthermore,
it is necessary to prepare the future by testing new
assimilation methods, by estimating the future
observation systems relevance and by developing
strategy for their integration in the prototypes...
This Newsletter comes within this scope. The first article will describe the mean dynamic topography of the Mediterranean
Sea, as a reference required for altimetric data assimilation. Current and future topographies are described, assessed and
intercomparated in Mersea framework. The second article associates 4D-variational method and Argo drifting floats to
examine the potential we may expect of vertical profiles of temperature and salinity to produce the oceanic state. Finally, the
last article describes the Mercator strategy, developped in the scope of an ESA study, for the future surface salinity
observation system: SMOS.
Among all of this, don't forget Europe, par excellence topically question at these days and which is approached in the News
through the first annual Mersea meeting, held in Toulouse from March 29 to March 31st.
Have a good read and see you for next issue with regional and coastal oceanography topic!

Greetings all,
By the end of April 2008, the final meeting of the MERSEA European Project set up in Paris, in the Institut Océanographique.
The aim of the project was to develop a European system for operational monitoring and forecasting on global and regional scales
of the ocean physics, biogeochemistry and ecosystems.
It was surely a challenge to get together many different partners to build the future European operational oceanography of
tomorrow. It was also a challenge for the MERSEA teams to demonstrate their capacity to collect, validate and assimilate remote
sensed and in situ data into ocean circulation models, to interpolate in time and space for uniform coverage, to run nowcasting
(i.e. data synthesis in real-time), forecasting, and hind-casting, and to deliver information products. The project also had to
develop marine applications addressing the needs of both intermediate and end-users, whether institutional or from the private
sector
This Newsletter collects some of the many results obtained during this project. Several aspects are tackled: global and regional
forecasting systems, observations, and applications.
The News is written by the Coordinator of the Project, Yves Desaubies. He draws MERSEA results up.
In a first article, Marie Drévillon et al. present the MERSEA/Mercator-Ocean V2 global ocean analysis and forecasting system. In a
second one, Hervé Roquet et al. describe L3 and L4 high resolution SST products. The next article, written by Bruce Hackett et
al., focuses on Oil spill applications. The article of John Siddorn et al. closes the issue by a description of the development of a
North-East Atlantic tidal NEMO system.

1) NOEDC's role as the Romanian NODC in the IOC-IODE system and its establishment in 2007 as a department of the National Institute of Marine Research and Development "Grigore Antipa".
2) NOEDC's personnel of 1 manager, 1 assistant manager, 1 IT administrator, and 2 operators.
3) The types of physical, chemical, biological, hydrodynamic, and environmental data that NOEDC collects from various Romanian partners and makes available.
Ocean Data Factory - Application for FundingRobin Teigland
The document describes an Ocean Data Factory (ODF) initiative in Sweden. It provides backgrounds on the need for an ocean data lab in Sweden given increasing global interest in oceans. It introduces the ODF consortium members and directors. It outlines the ODF vision to enable Sweden to be a global leader in sustainable digital blue economy innovation. It describes initial work plans focusing on environmental monitoring and numerical forecasting. It also discusses opportunities for open data sources, citizen science, and using open source tools to maximize access and reuse of ocean data.
Outputs and recommendations from the Baltic Sea-basin Checkpoint WorkshopEMODnet
This document summarizes feedback from stakeholders on improving the EMODnet data portal for the Baltic Sea. Key points include: (1) users want the demo portal developed into a dedicated service portal with more metadata and dynamic functions; (2) there are data gaps in shallow coastal areas due to restrictions on bathymetry, fishery, and private data; and (3) adaptive monitoring tools could help address gaps and an integrated approach combining monitoring and modeling would support marine spatial planning and other challenges.
This document summarizes the aqua3S project, which aims to integrate novel sensor technologies and detection mechanisms into existing water safety networks to improve risk reduction. The project will deploy various sensors throughout water distribution networks, as well as drones and satellites, to detect harmful substances. Data will be analyzed using threat detection algorithms and multi-sensor fusion to support early warning systems and decision making. Six pilot programs are planned in different cities to test the system. The project brings together various partners from research organizations and water utilities across Europe.

Background of the
European Marine Observation and Data
Network
The behavior of seas and oceans is crucial to human life on this
planet
The marine life influences the provision of food
Changes in coastal morphology influence erosion, flooding
and maritime transport
Ocean circulation is a primary, if poorly-understood,
influence on the terrestrial climate
Since the industrial revolution there is an ever growing
interdependence between the human and marine domains
The impact of future changes in oceanic systems, their impact
on human activity and the feedbacks on the ocean cannot be
forecast without understanding the way the system works
