1. MERSEA Remote – Sensing Ocean Portal Brest 21-22 Nov 2005 WP2.6 - DIP2 Project Status http://www.mersea.eu.org < Observing Systems < Remote Sensing

2. WP2.6 and DIP-2 Activities To be conducted / Conducted yet (1/2) The general objective of the 2.6 task is to coordinate all efforts in remote sensing data availability and distribution.  A WWW site will be developed as a portal to the different independent systems and to facilitate the visibility and exchange of the data in a reliable and coherent manner  The portal will provide an overview of all available remote sensing data and an easy access to the data sets through a link to the relevant data distribution servers.  The second phase will tackle the problem of documenting all products (lists of products, formats, user guides, tutorials)  The second phase will tackle the problem of providing gridded data products for all mission – SST, sea ice and ocean color) in a Netcdf structure format using the same ocean convention such as COARDS/CF and distribute them in an OPeNDAP catalogue    Nov 2005

3. WP2.6 and DIP-2 Activities To be conducted / Conducted yet (2/2) The general objective of the 2.6 task is to coordinate all efforts in remote sensing data availability and distribution.  The second phase will tackle the problem of setting up well defined or revised interface procedures (with partners and other WPs)  The WWW remote sensing data portal will be run in a shared and distributed mode.  A Mersea LAS will be implemented to federate Opendap servers.  The second phase will tackle the problem of implementing an overall control capability (monitoring kits).  The second phase will tackle the problem of running a web site to keep updated information and post new information (cf. actualities, R&D reports)     Nov 2005
