Objective
The purpose of YEOS is to strengthen the GEOSS cooperation between EU and other key GEOSS players, by a two-step, bottom-up approach.
The 1st step is to demonstrate benefits and build up confidence through a solid cooperation in national level (i.e. EU States-China-South Korea) and regional level (i.e. BOOS - Yellow Sea OOS).
The 2nd step is to enlarge the cooperation to EuroGOOS - NearGOOS level. In practice the 2nd stage will be between GMES/GEOSS Projects in EU (e.g. MERSEA/ECOOP) and in NE Asia countries China-Korea-Japan-Russia. This includes, e.g. sharing satellite/in-situ data and best practice, and using MERSEA global forecast as boundary condition for NE Asia forecasting system etc.
YEOS will fulfil the 1st step GEOSS cooperation by
1) jointly building up a proto-type Yellow Sea observation, forecasting and information system;
2) demonstrating the system in a period around August 2008, when all Sailing Games of 2008 Olympic Game will be performed in Yellow Sea waters;
3) disseminating YEOS products in different user levels especially to stake-holders and policy makers, and carry out international cooperation between regional Operational Oceanography Systems (OOSs) in Baltic and Yellow Sea (BOOS-YOOS).
The YEOS observation system will be based on the integration of existing China-Korea monitoring system in Yellow Sea. YEOS forecasting system is built on advanced and matured European-Chinese operational modelling technology, including coupled ocean-ice and sediment transport forecasting system from Denmark and Germany (with ECMWF weather forcing), wave forecasting system and variational assimilation from China.
YEOS, as a seed, will initiate the 2nd stage GEOSS cooperation through a forum which consists of YEOS consortium and the key players in European-NE Asia GEOSS projects, who will be invited as YEOS Advisory Group member. The outcome from the forum will be the 2nd stage GEOOS cooperation plan between EU and NE Asia countries.
