The GlobCurrent project is blessed with a vibrant and engaged group of users, who began toidentify their requirements well in advance of project kickoff in October 2013. Initial
consultations with ESA resulted in a synthesis of requirements that was compiled in aseparate User Requirements Document (URD) in early 2013. Thus, the present URD inherits
this established group of users and an analysis of their requirements, which this GlobCurrent
DUE project is designed to address. The evolution of this document captures new users, a
solicitation of their requirements, and their responses. Based on the earlier ESA
consultations, this document also summarizes the projects main points of contact, the
derivation of a collective set of requirements, and the general requirements themselves. More
detailed requirements, addressing mainly the implementation of a surface current analysis
system, can be found in the project requirements baseline document (RB deliverable D-40).

oceanic circulation and an unequalled view of eddy kinetic energy on a global scale. Still, theconventional coarse ground track spacing of an individual altimeter is known to limit cross-track resolution to several hundred km. Similarly, multiple altimeters yield gridded maps of
sea surface height (SSH) that is limited to a resolution of about 100 km and 10 days. This so-
called "altimetry gap" has prompted attempts to combine the lower resolution altimeter data
with sequences of medium and higher resolution satellite and in situ observations.
Direct and indirect estimates of ocean surface current and higher level derived quantities such
as frontal boundaries can indeed be derived using a variety of satellite sensors, including
altimetry (both conventional and SAR mode), gravimetry, SAR imaging and Doppler
properties, scatterometry, optical (VIS and TIR) and passive microwaves. Sparse in-situcurrent measurements from drifting and moored buoys, coastal HF-radar installations, Argo
floats, gliders and ship observations can also complement these satellite measurements. Each
of these satellite and in-situ based measurement techniques has specific strengths and
limitations (e.g., resolution, coverage, accuracy, depth integration, cloud dependence,
empirical based retrieval methods, etc). By development and use of systematic data merging
and sensor synergy combined with advanced processing tools and simulation models, thecomplementary strength of each sensing technique can be optimized. Deficiencies are
thereby reduced and the final estimate of the OSC is more consistent, regular and reliable. In
turn, the use and uptake of satellite based OSC derived products will grow.

The GlobCurrent project is designed to re-map the worlds ocean surface currents from a
growing synergy of past and present observations and to conduct a series of user-led casestudies that resolve high spatial and temporal variability and the underlying processes that

govern surface current dynamics. An overview of the project architecture is given in Fig. 2.This includes data ingestion, formatting, quality control, and processing to L2 and L4
products (blue), a data management system for all data within the project (i.e. the input EO
and in situ data, products, validation reports, etc; brown), validation (purple) coupled to user-
led case studies (dark green), and a data delivery and communication system interfaced to
users (light green).
GlobCurrent aims to exploit the widest possible range of EO capabilities and to deliver at its
conclusion a nowcasting system with a more firmly established user group and easy internet
access. References for such an operational service are SURCOUFand OSCAR[RD-1, RD-
2]. These processing systems provide near real time global ocean surface velocity fieldsbased on satellite observations of sea surface height, wind, and temperature (OSCARs
regional focus is the tropical Pacific Ocean). Both systems are subject to extensive validation
and error analysis, and are applicable to ocean, climate, and basic research challenges. The
SURCOUF and OSCAR user base derives from complementary national monitoring (e.g.,
NOAA CoastWatch) and climate prediction programs, broad research initiatives, naval
operational ocean analysis programs, and other civilian uses. Some of these users have also
identified themselves within the GlobCurrent project.
The basis for ocean current analysis systems like SURCOUF and OSCAR is a linear
combination of current components. Nevertheless, high resolution current analyses will
require significant advances in processing tools and sensor synergy to allow the
complementary strengths of ocean current sensors to be optimized. In the first year of the
GlobCurrent project, global estimates of ocean surface current are provided at relatively largescales and low frequencies (e.g., those greater than about 20 days and 200 km), following in
part the SURCOUF approach. Among these first GlobCurrent products to be produced are a
global, three-hourly, two-level (0-m and 15-m) reanalysis for 2010-2012 that combines anestimate of the geostrophic and Ekman wind driven surface currents and provides users with
estimates of data quality.
Subsequent GlobCurrent products target regional, high-resolution mesoscale current featuresand near real time services. Throughout the project, there is a distinction between separable
current components distinguished in part by time and depth scales. The slowest components
are considered to link interior and near-surface processes (and thus have a relatively large
vertical scale, by analogy with foundation SST). Because some users will be looking toward
assimilation, such a balanced and slow current may prove attractive for forecast initialization.
Conventional altimetry, geoid models, passive microwave retrievals, and the notion of acurrent in geostrophic balance is the basis for such an analysis. Accommodation of high
resolution (SAR) altimetry and consistency with patterns in infra-red and ocean colourimagery (particularly in coastal areas) may also be relevant.
One of the goals of this project is to resolve surface current variability on scales as small as
one day and 25 km. Thus, subsequent GlobCurrent products increasingly focus on the fast
current components that respond directly to a combination of wind, wave, and current forcingat the surface. Examples include the well known Ekman, Stokes drift, and wind drift
components. Passive infrared and active microwave satellites are among the instruments thatresolve these components.

Another objective of this project, as given by its users, is validation and estimation of dataquality (e.g., errors and flags; Fig.2 purple), given observations that are independent of the
analyses. Assessment of a GlobCurrent total surface current can be performed in part using
assimilation systems (e.g., MyOcean) as a reference. However, because assimilation systems
also depend on ocean models [RD-3] that have limited vertical resolution near the surface,
they are not expected to be a reference for all the fast current variations that GlobCurrentaims to resolve. Global and regional observation-based and model-based surface currents are
available at a spatial resolution of about 10 km, often as weekly analyses and daily forecasts.
A complementary assessment of total current including fast variations is also possible usingindependent in situ observations (e.g., Argo and surface drifters), and high resolution remote
sensing (e.g., satellite optical glitter and land-based high frequency radar). User led casestudies (Fig.2, dark green) provide opportunities to pursue this objective at the GlobCurrent
supersites (e.g., over the Orkney and Agulhas regions).
The last decade or two of EO has seen rapid growth in the measurement and interpretation of
ocean surface current information. The arrival of the Sentinel era finds some techniques that
are mature (e.g. altimetry, optical feature tracking), while new satellites (e.g. GOCE, Cryosat,
SMOS) and techniques have emerged (e.g. SAR radial velocities, mean square slope from
glitter patterns, improved geoid models) that promise additional capabilities to resolve ocean
surface currents. This combination of established and newer techniques represents a rich
infrastructure that can support a much greater provision of ocean services than it does now.Among numerous operational analyses and historical reanalyses of the ocean surface current
(both global and local), GlobCurrent will seek to lead the exploitation of EO information.
The remainder of this URD draws from a consensus building exercise initiated by ESA
following an international User Consultation Meeting that was held at IFREMER in Brest,
France on 7-9 March, 2012. This ESA UCM brought together 133 users and experts in the
field of EO (calibration, validation, data merging, algorithm development) and service
delivery together to present their detailed product and service requirements, including user
needs for better ocean currents, measurement of ocean currents from space and in situ, data
blending and analysis techniques for ocean surface currents and data/systems analysis
interspersed with presentations on data management and systems engineering. An ongoing
analysis of the input from this user group yields the requirements that are listed in the next
Section.

The participation of users prior to kickoff of the GlobCurrent project was essential fordefining the project and will continue to be the basis of its success (even beyond a three-year
timeframe). The early engagement of a representative group of users provided a frameworkthat Champion Users clarify as the project evolves. Following DUE procedure, all users were
required to a) provide a signed statement of detailed user requirements using the template
provided in this document, and b) consider becoming a Champion user within the project by
signing a Letter of Commitment (LOC) to: a) deliver requirements for ocean surface currents
following the template provided below, and b) provide expert advice during the definition of
the GlobCurrent project.
The approach taken to gather user requirements prior to GlobCurrent kickoff was based on:
Direct consultation with the user community at the 2012 User Consultation Meeting,
Requests to define user requirements using a specifically developed questionnaire, Follow up with specific users using email/telephone discussions,
Collective analysis of user feedback and formal enumeration of requirements
Now that the project has kicked off, new users are also asked to formalize their relationship
with the project and Champion Users are committed to:
Demonstrate and evaluate GlobCurrent project outputs in areas of
interest/applications and provide feedback at GlobCurrent User Consultation
Meetings;
Facilitate access to existing data (e.g., in-situ data) that may be useful for the project;
Advise the GlobCurrent consortium in the consolidation of User Requirements during
the initial project phase;
As a user and potential beneficiary of the outcomes of the GlobCurrent project,
contribute three man-months of effort to the project (or an equivalent in-kindcontribution, such as providing access to existing data or services on which the project
can build).
Champion Users are key stakeholders that are fundamental to maintaining a good working
relationship with the GlobCurrent User community throughout the project developmentlifecycle and as end users of the project outcomes. The project has a number of points of
contact for new and existing user participation, which involves an open sharing of ocean
surface current information and on interactions at various fora. An overview is given belowand details are provided in the project Communication and Outreach Management Plan (D-
90).

For each meeting, attendance of about 30-60 participants is expected where the mainachievements of the project are given by the consortium partners, presentations are given by
the CGUG and by externals users, sessions are organised to collect new or refined
requirements and recommendations that will be taken into account for the next step of the
GlobCurrent project. Promotional brochures will be elaborated and distributed to each
participant (4-8 pages). The main outcome of the meetings will include minutes of the
meetings and an update of the URD (this document).

As a complement to the brochures that will be published and distributed during the UCM, onenewsletter per year will be published that communicates the progress of the project. It will
consist of 1-4 pages.

The GlobCurrent website hosted at Ifremer [WEB-1] is where users may register to access
data and receive updates on the news and events. A secondary website at NERSC [WEB-2]
is available for internal use. The project aims to include other social media as it begins to
generate data, updates, and questions.

New users who come forward or are identified by the consortium (or ESA) will be invited to
fill the Annex I forms (based on what was requested of attendees of the original UCM in
2012). The arrival of newest users will be advertised both internally (via monthly reports)
and possibly in a subsequent newsletter (describing the user and perhaps summarizing its
special requirements). New requirements (i.e., outside the scope of those already addressedby the project) will be addressed by the consortium (and perhaps ESA) at the earliest
opportunity in order to formulate an appropriate response.

The analysis of user responses is a challenging process that seeks both a collective andcomprehensive assessment of real user needs. The following analysis is inherited from [AD-
1] and is based on the individual user responses tabulated in Annex III. This analysis is thenused to define the numbered requirements of the next section. A consensus for each
requirement is sought and for instances where no consensus is evident, the analyst (ESA or
the GlobCurrent consortium) has sought to define an inclusive collective requirement.

Section 9.1 lists the individual user application domains. A top-level analysis shows that
ocean and weather numerical forecasting services are the key user applications.

Section 9.3 presents the geographical areas of interest of most GlobCurrent users. The
overwhelming requirement is for global coverage. However, many regional areas of interest
are requested that have a wide global distribution.

Section 9.8 has been analysed to derive the driving user requirements for specific applications.
The most common driving requirements are:
Accuracy of the product (implying uncertainty information) is the clear driving
requirement,
Timeliness of productdelivery is the second most common driver, and
NRT data access, format, coverage and resolution of products are also driving
requirements.

It is noted that the spatial resolution is that defined by the data and/or the analysis technique
and is distinct from the data product grid (which may be at a higher resolution than the
effective resolution of the product it contains). Furthermore, the achievable spatial (and
temporal) resolution is governed explicitly by the characteristics of the input data products -
unless a model (stochastic or deterministic) is used to interpolate the data. Thus, theachievable resolution of GlobCurrent products may not be capable of satisfying all user
requirements all of the time.
BIBIBI,3NM7G;= G367=F@578XG34565@
Section 9.4 has been analysed for GlobCurrent temporal resolution/revisit requirements. A
range of user requirements is evident ranging from sub-hourly to monthly composite products.
Figure 5: GlobCurrent temporal resolution requirements.
Based on user needs, GlobCurrent shall target an hourly daily product regime. Hourly
products are required in tidal areas if possible and daily products as a minimum requirement
for all areas. Lower temporal resolution products can be derived from higher resolution
products.

Section 9.4 shows that the overwhelming requirement for product format is NetCDF (CF-
Compliant). In addition, many operational users request GRIB2 format products
particularly where email transmission is required as this data format compresses data

by web (HTTP). Several users specifically request delivery of GRIB2 files by email (for
operational purposes). Other mechanisms including LAS and WMS are also noted by someusers.

Section 9.8 indicates that users prefer a single point web-portal including a searchable
catalogue working with product metadata (e.g. Geoportal Server, CSW) to search for
GlobCurrent data.
Several users requested simple data discovery based on ftp site directory/filenames or Google

A general summary of project requirements is given here based on the analysis of theprevious section. As with the preceding analysis, this enumerated summary is also based on
[AD-1], which in turn, provided a basis for the more specific requirements that were given byESA in its project SoW [AD-2]. In turn, the SoW was the basis for the full set of technical
requirements that now define the projects requirement baseline document (RB D-40). These
three sets of requirements vary somewhat in scope and detail but are all broadly consistent.
Requirements here were identified from one of the following (Source Trace column):
URD: analysis of the user data
REF: peer-reviewed paper
ESA: directly from ESA
Each requirement is also associated with one of the three years of the GlobCurrent project
(Year column) and applies to all subsequent years.

At least 10 areas of interest will be employed by the end of the project for validation, testing
of methods, and system development (starting with five areas in the first year). Also,
regional current products will be issued in years two and three.

The present URD inherits an established group of users and an analysis of their requirements,and captures a growing group of new users, a solicitation of their requirements, and their
responses. Following consultations prior to kickoff, this document also summarizes theprojects main points of contact, the derivation of a collective set of requirements, and the
general requirements themselves. More detailed requirements, addressing in part to the
implementation of the project, can be found in the requirements baseline document (RB
deliverable D-40).
The GlobCurrent project seeks to improve the retrieval of ocean surface current information
from a synergy of satellites and facilitate the uptake of ocean surface current observations
within an established community. This is expected to further our understanding of a global
ocean that is filled with meandering surface currents and eddies, whose impact we are now
faced with the challenge of more accurately quantifying.

Areas of expertise
Kathleen Dohan Expert in turbulence and stratified flows, internal waves, mixed layer
parameterization, wind-driven mixing. Has experience with both laboratory
experiments and numerical simulations to study internal wave generation from a
turbulent mixed region, interaction between turbulence and stratification, use of
mooring data to quantify the dynamics of storm-driven upper ocean mixing during the
fall deepening stage of the mixed layer evolution and its implications for mixed layer
models. At ESR since December 2007 and now working on Ocean Surface Current
Analyses-Real time (OSCAR) and sub-inertial wind-driven surface currents (Ocean
Vector Wind).
Joseph Henry
LaCasce
Leading expert on upper ocean dynamics. Proposed applying the SQG model to
estimate near-surface velocities from SST in 2006. He studies oceanic dynamics and
2-D turbulence and is known for his work on Lagrangian dispersion in the ocean and
atmosphere.
Ad Stoffelen Expert on wind retrieval from satellites. Led the development of the CMOD empirical
model to convert measured radar cross-section to near surface wind speed and
direction. He is also highly experienced with NWP models and data assimilation ofsatellite winds.
Rick Lumpkin His research focuses on upper ocean processes and ocean circulation. As scientific
director of NOAA's Global Drifter Program (GDP) at AOML, he oversees a global
array of ~1250 satellite-tracked drifting buoys measuring ocean temperatures and
surface currents, and has used these data to write a number of peer-reviewed
publications.
