Norwegian Meteorological Institute met.no ECOOP Task T2.5: River Data Progress in Year 1 Bruce Hackett, met.no Presented at ECOOP 1st Annual Meeting, Athens, Greece, February 2008

Meteorologisk Institutt met.no ECOOP T2.5 Title: Establish a pan-EU data base for river run-off Overall Objective: Establish a framework for integrating and harmonising observations of river runoff to the European coastal seas and providing them to coastal and shelf seas monitoring and forecasting services. Specific Objectives: –To gain an overview of available data and to select an initial set of data for use in ECOOP. –Define and test procedures for acquiring river runoff data from providers and making them available through the ECOOP data management systems. –Provide river runoff data in each region to users through the ECOOP Data Management System

Meteorologisk Institutt met.no ECOOP T2.5 Summary of aims and work What: 1.Get an overview of what's available, what's possible to access in the (near) future and how. 2.Set up procedures for data provision via the EDMS. 3.Implement an initial feed of NRT river data to demonstrate value during TOP. How: –Work through the ROOS’es to access data providers. –Cooperate with the EDMS developers on provision to users – ROOS’es as main channel. –Get feedback on usefulness and upgrade.

Meteorologisk Institutt met.no ECOOP T2.5 Status Year 1 River Data Catalogs (5 regional) as spreadsheet files –XLS templates delivered by met.no with initial info from GRDC –Progress in all 5 regions, but only IBI and BOOS are up to V1 readiness. –V0.6 of D delivered – will be updated. River Station Lists (5 regional) as spreadsheet files –Delayed due to dependency on River Data Catalogs (of which the Lists are a subset). –Draft version (V0.3) of D files have been delivered – will be updated. Interfacing to EDMS –candidate data format found at GRDC Interactive Task web page with information, plans and results.

Meteorologisk Institutt met.no ECOOP River Data Catalogs in GE = unchanged (GRDC archive info) or uncertain = updated only archive data info = updated only NRT data info = updated NRT and archive data info Why? Visualize the observing network and coverage. Help to identify relevant stations. Make the information more easily accessible to others. How? met.no builds kml directly from xls Published on T2.5 wiki
