Pre-Operational Marine Service Continuity in Transition towards Copernicus

Objective

The main objective of the MyOcean Follow On project will be to operate a rigorous, robust and sustainable Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting component of the pre-operational Copernicus Marine Service delivering ocean physical state and ecosystem information to intermediate and downstream users in the areas of marine safety, marine resources, marine and coastal environment and weather, climate and seasonal forecasting.
This is highly consistent with the objective of the HORIZON 2020 Work Programme 2014-2015 establishing the need for interim continuity of the pre-operational services developed by MyOcean 2 before the fully operational services of Copernicus.
The project proposes to sustain the current pre-operational marine activities until March 2015 in order to avoid any interruption in the critical handover phase between pre-operational and fully operational services. In effect, any significant interruption in these services could potentially jeopardize several important high-level policy objectives and undermine other related scientific activities.
In the period from October 2014 to March 2015, MyOcean-FO will ensure a controlled continuation and extension of the services already implemented in MyOcean and MyOcean2 FP7 projects that have advanced the pre-operational marine service capabilities. To enable the move to full operations, MyOcean-FO is targeting the prototype operations, and developing the management and coordination to continue the provision of Copernicus Marine service products and the link with independent R&D activities.
MyOcean-FO will produce and deliver services based upon the common-denominator ocean state variables that are required to help meet the needs for information for environmental and civil security policy making, assessment and implementation.
MyOcean-FO is also expected to have a significant impact on the emergence of a technically robust and sustainable Copernicus Service infrastructure in Europe.

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MyOcean FO (Pre-Operational Marine Service Continuity in Transition towards Copernicus)

Reporting period: 2014-10-01 to 2015-05-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

The main objective of the MyOcean Follow On project is to ensure the continuity of service from previous MyOcean and MyOcean2 projects in order to provide a seamless transition to the following Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service to begin early 2015. It means that the technical objectives are to deliver and operate a rigorous, robust and sustainable Copernicus service component for Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting and thus help implement a stable and sustainable system configuration, including both service and organisation.
In continuity to MyOcean2, the MyOcean-FO objective was to deliver and operate a rigorous, robust and sustainable Copernicus marine service component for Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting in continuity with past and ongoing initiatives in the GMES and EU marine research framework, and thus help implement a stable and sustainable system configuration, including both service and organisation, to enable the next Copernicus Marine Service operational phase. Besides continuity and operational consolidation, MyOcean-FO included the necessary development activity to enable and sustain an operational service, with new improvements required by users or new capabilities driven by the context of Operational Oceanography, in particular related to the uptake of the newly available Sentinel satellite data.

MyOcean-FO's raison d'être is its service commitment to users. They are European agencies and policy convention offices, national public institutions with operational and/or research objectives, private companies developing their own downstream services, and also European citizens on the lookout for a new vision of the oceans. MyOcean-FO users operate in four spheres of application, marine safety, marine resources, marine and coastal environment, and weather, climate & seasonal forecasting. MyOcean-FO delivers generic information on the physical state of the ocean and ecosystem characteristics to these European and international user communities.
The project is designed to provide reliable and timely information on ocean monitoring and forecasting. A central organisation will continue operating the current MyOcean2 service, to respond to user requests and feedback in accordance with Service Level Agreements. The MyOcean-FO service offer is based on an 'open & free access' data policy.

MyOcean Follow On is driven by five main objectives:
• A user driven service: provide a sustainable service validated and commissioned by users;
• A pan-European organization: to propose and implement a long-term service provision organization with a stable governance and financial model;
• A core service: to propose the product and service portfolio of the European Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting component of the GMES Marine Service;
• An integrated capacity: to organise a robust and optimised OMF/GMS production and service infrastructure, in order to achieve economies of scale;
• A methodology for development: to propose a methodological approach, compliant with best European standards and practices.
