7. InterMareC – Public Workshop Gdansk – 8 December 2006 Rafal Ostrowski, Klaus D. Pfeiffer & Yannick Aoustin Future Trends Tendency to operationally measure more green parameters (eg. nutrients, chlorophyll-a, TOC) Development / application of more stable and less maintenance / calibration intensive sensors Reduction of costly monitoring cruises Eventually increased use of systems installed on voluntary ships of- opportunity (e.g. Ferryboxes – presently qualified with pilot projects) Improvement of operational forecast models and integration of water quality and marine ecosystem models into operational systems Operational GIS and information systems for marine spatial planning Enhanced European cooperation and thereby eventually achievement of improved coverage and optimised station positioning through collaborative operational oceanography projects (mainly EU funded) Highlights from Germany
