Towards establishing the GlobCOLOUR Service within the GMES Marine Core services Scope Continuation of the Globcolour initiative in the MCS Ingredients of today Establish and strengthen links with research Interfaces Maturity – need for structuration Demonstration activities

Towards establishing the GlobCOLOUR Service within the GMES Marine Core services GlobCOLOUR Deliverables Satisfy emerging demand for validated merged ocean colour derived information Demonstrate the current state of the art in merging together data streams from different ocean-colour sensors: MERIS, SeaWiFS, MODIS-AQUA, POLDER-Parasol Provide a long time-series (10 years) of ocean-colour information Put in place the capacity to continue production of such time series in the future Demonstrate a global NRT ocean-colour service based on merged satellite data

Towards establishing the GlobCOLOUR Service within the GMES Marine Core services System components for MCS as seen today EO space & ground segment In situ observing systems Thematic Assembly Centres (In situ, altimetry, SST, OC, SSS…) Modelling infrastructure Service delivery …. based on subsidiarity principle, Make maximum use of past investment Courtesy of Peter Ryder – Chairman of the MCS_IG

Towards establishing the GlobCOLOUR Service within the GMES Marine Core services Establish and strenghten links with research Research is not in the mandate of GlobCOLOUR But team members are doing it … Need to Link with Mersea and with JRC Contribute to maintain and increase the competence on data merging, space/instruments techniques, biogeophysical modelling. Coordinated validation efforts

Towards establishing the GlobCOLOUR Service within the GMES Marine Core services Globcolour can bring the global/pan European service (NRT, re-analysis of long time series, products evolution based on user feedback and improvement of state of the art – e.g. C. moulin presentation, QC) Globcolour can bring consistent Quality controlled and validated primary inputs to regional organisations (see L Santorelli presentation) Regional / Pan European Interfaces ?

Towards establishing the GlobCOLOUR Service within the GMES Marine Core services Maturity – need for structuration/synergies OC community is not structured as are the altimetry or SST ones Community is also much larger and cannot be limited to oceanography modellers. Need for strong requirements/users federation (through IOCCG?) like GHRSST for SST (see K. Casey, V. Garçon, …) Parallel architecture definition and setting up with SST world to favour synergies and information exchanges Globcolour can interface with Medspiration to increase consistency of products delivery towards our common end users (e.g. see Rosa B. presentation)
