GOOS Framework for Ocean Observing
A simple system
Defining requirements for ecosystemEssential Ocean Variables
Expanding theGEOSS Data CORE
Creating infrastructurefor indicator-basedmarine assessments• repeatable• open / shared
Using GEO/GEOSS to support marine assessment Global ocean – local vulnerability
• Focus on themes where a global commons / global environmental issues related to the oceans exist
• Through indicators/mapping, identify local impact to ecosystem vulnerability or human vulnerability, with future projections where possible
• Assess the relevant thematic governance architecture: pointing to where action is needed
• Scientific assessment of peer-reviewed literature– Necessary for long-timescale, high-uncertainty, potentially high-impact
environmental problems
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
GEOWOW WP Ocean Ecosystems
The Challenge: developing ocean information for policy decision• human well-being is connected to ocean ecosystem services• ocean ecosystems are under-observed, but under threat from human
impacts• scientific information can influence decision points with provision of
information specifically for policy• decisions about human behaviour and global environmental governance
continue in an absence of information
Actors/communitiesWide range of stakeholders including ocean scientists (data providers & users) and marine policy/decision-makers.
GEO/GEOSS challenge is to assist link these together• Data discoverability, access and analysis
Adding functionalities to the GCI forbridging the gap between scientific communities
• Such assessment requires combining the various areas of expertise, from different fields (ex. Sea level rise and socio-economic projections)
• Collaboration between expert communities is still limited by data interoperability, specific practices and usage related to data, and high expertise in data processing for some data (typically for climate change and ocean models)
Use case: Ocean Acidification impact on pteropodsCarbon cycle: Atmospheric CO2 dissolves into water, pH and Aragonite CaCO3 saturation decreases.
Pteropods are affected by Aragonite saturation state:shell growth, thickness (calcification), excretion,respiration, etc…
Data and expertise
Opisthobranchia(155 631 records)
20 models, ran for IPCC scenarios, for different input parameters sets.1 3-D model output per month
4D datasets, Extremely large volumes (hundreds of GB)Stored in ESGF federation portal
+ scientific experts defining data processing
Select IPCC scenario
Projections of Ω, temperature, salinity
Map current species density
