Towards establishing the GlobCOLOUR Service within the GMES Marine Core services

Scope

• Continuation of the Globcolour initiative in the MCS

• Ingredients of today

• Establish and strengthen links with research

• Interfaces

• Maturity – need for structuration

• Demonstration activities

Towards establishing the GlobCOLOUR Service within the GMES Marine Core services

GlobCOLOUR Deliverables

• Satisfy emerging demand for validated merged ocean colour derived information

• Demonstrate the current state of the art in merging together data streams from different ocean-colour sensors:

MERIS, SeaWiFS, MODIS-AQUA, POLDER-Parasol

• Provide a long time-series (10 years) of ocean-colour information

• Put in place the capacity to continue production of such time series in the future

• Demonstrate a global NRT ocean-colour service based on merged satellite data

Establish and strenghten links with research

Research is not in the mandate of GlobCOLOUR But team members are doing it … Need to Link with Mersea and with JRC Contribute to maintain and increase the

competence on data merging, space/instruments techniques, biogeophysical modelling.

Towards establishing the GlobCOLOUR Service within the GMES Marine Core services

• Globcolour can bring the global/pan European service (NRT, re-analysis of long time series, products evolution based on user feedback and improvement of state of the art – e.g. C. moulin presentation, QC)

• Globcolour can bring consistent Quality controlled and validated primary inputs to regional organisations (see L Santorelli presentation)

Regional / Pan European

Interfaces ?

Maturity – need for structuration/synergies

OC community is not structured as are the altimetry or SST ones

Community is also much larger and cannot be limited to oceanography modellers.

Need for strong requirements/users federation (through IOCCG?) like GHRSST for SST (see K. Casey, V. Garçon, …)

Parallel architecture definition and setting up with SST world to favour synergies and information exchanges

Globcolour can interface with Medspiration to increase consistency of products delivery towards our common end users (e.g. see Rosa B. presentation)
