EuroGOOS Annual Meeting 2009/10/06-2009/10/08
ESONET All Regions Workshop 2009, October 5-7th, Paris
Integrating and Enhancing the European capacity for open ocean observation: EuroSITES contribution: current status, global context and future vision
Dr. Kate Larkin, NOC, Southampton, UK
- EU FP7 Collaborative Project - 3 years: April 1st 2008 – March 31st 2011 - Coordination: NOCS, UK- 13 partners (7 EU, 1 ICPC)- open ocean (>1000m) - Full depth, in situ: Ocean interior, seafloor and subseafloor

Moorings
EuroSITES is integrating and enhancing 9 existing deep ocean (>1000m) fixed point time-series across Europe
ESTOCTENATSO
Norwegian Margin
Porcupine
Ligurian Sea
Eastern Mediterranean
EuroSITES and ESONET/EMSO: 4 Common regions
Multidisciplinary time-seriesVertical coverage: Surface to seafloor
Direct link with ESONET WP3 Scientific activities:Towards a standardised set of core environmental variables
Moorings
EuroSITES also promotes the research and development of deep ocean observation
Moorings
Science missions: Water Column
e.g. Ocean acidification (ULPGC) - long-term autonomous pH time-series - photometric pH sensor - Deployed in shallow waters at ESTOC site - Links with EPOCA and CARBOOCEAN
e.g. Deep ocean oxygen consumption (CNRS) - in situ measurement of O2 dynamics (to 6000 m)- Oxygen Dynamic Auto-sampler (IODA6000). - Deployments at: cabled ANTARES site (2200m), PAP site (moored, drifting) and DYFAMED (2010)- Links with HYPOX. - ESONET-EMSO: Porcupine Node and Ligurian Sea
Moorings
Science missions: Seafloor and Subseafloor
e.g. Tsunami detection (HCMR) - Autonomous deep sea platform at 2000m depth, October 2008- Poseidon-Pylos site; SE Ionian Sea - high accuracy pressure sensor - Part of POSEIDON-II project and Greek National Buoy System. - ESONET-EMSO: Eastern Mediterranean node
e.g. Earthquake and subsurface fluid migration (NERC-NOCS; HCMR; IFM-GEOMAR) -Seabed observatory, Patras, Greece, 200m depth, May 2009-flow meter, a seismometer and a data logger.-ESONET-EMSO: Eastern Mediterranean node
e.g. Benthic biology monitoring (NERC-NOCS) - Benthic fauna monitoring as indicators of climate change- Porcupine Abyssal Plain (PAP) at 4800 m depth- ESONET-EMSO: Porcupine node
ESTOCTENATSO
The way forward through integration.1. Regional, collaborative science
Norwegian Margin
Porcupine
Ligurian Sea
Eastern Mediterranean
EuroSITES and ESONET/EMSO: 4 Common regions
In situ collaboration -ESONET DM MODOO, NE Atlantic-Link to existing EuroSITES time-series infrastructure
Mobile and mOdulary Deep OceanObservatory (MODOO)- Porcupine Abyssal Plain (PAP)
Link water column, seafloor, and sub-seafloor observatories for more comprehensive science applications.
Partners: IFM-GEOMAR, NOCS, NIOZ, MRI, UNIAB, AWI
350.000 € May 2009 – October 2010 Associated project: MODOO Connect
Central Irminger Sea:A future international collaboration site?

From OO’09 talk on Data Management: The way forward: Steve Hankin, NOAA/PMEL
The way forward through integration.2. Data management
International integration:Towards Ocean information for society
- Common data policy- Real-time delivery - QC data (data/metadata)- Interchangeable format (OceanSITES NetCDF)- Open access to data: GDACS (e.g. CORIOLIS)
EuroSITES (as part of OceanSITES) contributes to GEO through MCS, EMODNET and GOOS working towards an operational system for multidisciplinary ocean monitoring and forecasting.
Services and products: EuroSITES: a key in situ data provider to MyOcean e.g. Marine Resources. Cape Verde physical variables
Slide from Pierre Bahurel: OO’09 MyOcean talk.Venice 25/9/09
Now……Continue to enhance interactions and foster direct collaborations with existing initiatives to contribute to GOOS and to the Group on Earth Observations (GEO).
