Project description
Innovative services to benefit European hydrography
Ship observations are critical for fisheries, regional oceanography and global climate science. Every European coastal country applies an observation programme that provides data to support the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. These programmes aggregate in regional clusters contributing to international networks. However, gaps in the networks have been identified. The EU-funded Euro GO-SHIP project will propose a programme that provides new services and access opportunities to address these requirements within the European RI landscape. The programme includes shared facilities such as training, access to equipment through a European Marine Equipment Pool, data curation to ensure fit-for-purpose data systems and metadata, and secondary quality control to increase consistency and add uncertainty estimates to observations.
Objective
Observations from ships, and in particular water column measurements, remain the backbone of much Oceanographic Science, including fisheries, regional oceanography, and global climate science. Every coastal country in Europe has a programme of such observations that feeds data into evaluations in support of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive with these programmes being organised into both regional clusters and serving as contributions to wider international networks. In 2019, as part of the OceanOBS conference, networks identified gaps in their requirements for support and here we propose a programme to address these requirements within the context of the European RI landscape. The proposed new services and access opportunities based on the network needs presented at OceanOBS are:
• shared facilities such as training, best practices, access to capability and access to equipment through a European Marine Equipment Pool (EMEP)
• data curation to ensure fit for purpose data systems and metadata for both real-time and delayed mode quality-controlled data
• secondary quality control to increase consistency and add uncertainty estimates to observations.
These will be refined by broad consultation with data originators, governments, funders and end-users. In addition, pilot activities will both provide immediate support to the networks and help to refine a statement of requirements. These requirements will be compared to the set of services already available within the European RI Landscape and on the basis of this a new structure for supporting European Hydrography proposed. Possible models range from complete service delivery within existing RIs and the establishment of no new structures through to the creation of an RI with a set of services unavailable elsewhere.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
