  1. WP 18URD Synthesis - Climate and Weather Forecasting

  2. URD Main Elements/Agenda Area of Benefit (Capt. 3) Definition Users (Capt. 1,4,5) User description Missions and improvements of capabilities Policy driving needs Tasks description and users short term needs Evolution and Future of User needs Products and Services (Capt. 6) Overview Product and Service Requirements Critical issues Comments/Conclusions

  3. Area of Benefit (Chapt. 3) Two Sub-areas (TBD) Weather and Seasonal Forecasting Short-term for tomorrow and up to the next few days Medium-range (weekly, monthly, seasonal) Climate analysis long-term analysis environmental impact assessment (downscaling products)

  4. User Description (Chapt.1, 4) Number of Users: 13 EU: 1 IG: 3 SP: 9

  5. User Description (Chapt.1,4) [j1]Nach Areas sortieren, 1. Weather and seasonal, 2. climate, 3. both

  6. Users missions (Chapt. 4.1) General Environmental assessment, monitoring and forecast in terms of climate issues Answering to social expectations on climate change effects Policy driving needs

  7. Users Improvement of capabilities (Chapt. 4.2) General Improvement of existent services Development of new data services for public/ and private use Improvement of Web Server services and data centres Include metadata in existing information systems Assessment and evaluation of MFC products

  8. Users Improvement of capabilities (Chapt. 4.2) EEA Increase in-house relevant resources and capabilities to integrate MCS products in information systems (e.g. Shared environmental information system (SEIS)) Intergovernmental Bodies Strengthening of regional and international networks in cooperation and data exchange Include validated data sets Improvement of advisory working groups, e.g. in fields of Monitoring programmes Development of Environmental Quality Objectives Technical implementations for internal and external information and data exchange

  9. Users Improvement of capabilities (Chapt. 4.2) Service Providers Improvement of data assimilation systems and services, to provide coastal operational services from regional up to global scale. Implementation of SST and Sea-ice concentration products to improve the medium range forecast of ocean waves and weather Obtain scientific knowledge and build up technological Innovations (exploration and observation) for ocean circulation forecasting

  10. Users policy driving needs (Chapt.5.1) Global/EU Kyoto Protocol, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Regional Baltic: HELCOM Convention Atlantic/North Sea: OSPAR Convention Mediterranean: Barcelona Convention Black Sea:Black Sea Environmental Programme (BSEP)

  11. Users tasks description and users short term needs (Chapt.5.2)

  12. Evolution and Future of User needs (Chapt. 5.3) General/EEA needs: Development of downstream services and implementation of new services and products Implementation of general agreements and policies for service and product distribution Evolution of modelling systems Intergovernmental Bodies Implementation and improvement of state-of-the-art techniques for service delivery, like web applications Service Provider New thematic fields, like ice extension/thickness, ocean currents and mean dynamic topography

  13. Requirements overview (Chapt. 6.1) General Availability of MyOcean, MCS products is expected to improve state-of-art and operationality of services at all time scales

  14. Product and Service requirements (Chapt. 6.2)

  15. Criticality of requirements and services (Chapt. 6.3) Data delivery Availability without gaps and delay Best available products is mandatory Service sustainability Long-term sustainability of provided services, web service in particular, is strongly required Data quality and validation SST, Sea level, Sea ice variables, and Ocean colour (chl-a trends) are named as critical products Forecast of sea level, as well as near-real time and historical analysis are named as critical services Quality assessment before delivery High data resolution for modelling at regional and coastal scale Historical records of sea ice should be consistent with the SST re-analysis.

  16. Questions and Comments Different input from users Interests balanced? Definitions of User categories, new groups needed? National Agencies Universities Combine? Definition of the key area Climate and weather forecast Extend FTSS List of products and services? Use FTSS table as template for user requirements? Extension of catalogue possible? User requirements vs. MyOcean Services What can/will be offered?

  17. Questions and Comments

  18. Conclusions Valuable Base for Iteration Synthesis of heterogeneous User group and represent all their relevant interests Agreement on understanding MyOcean Services Template for documents Definitions in common language A lot of input for V1

  19. Conclusions
