The Pilot Project when and where: (June 2009 - June 2012)

NORTH SEA

BLACK SEA

MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Regional Leaders:North Sea – NERIBlack Sea– MHIMed Sea – HCMR

The Pilot Project:what

-Choice based on MSFD requirements;-Selected from 8 groups of compounds;-3 matrices: water, biota, sediment;-17 selected parameters for product generation.

The Pilot Project: Expert WSExpert workshop, 20-21 September 2010, Venice.

Topics:•General overview of EMODNET Chemistry objectives and results with demonstration of EMODNET Chemistry portal,•General overview of data distribution per region (including spots),•Review and discussion on EMODNET Chemical data and products availability,•how to move from data to products, what kind of products can be done with EMODNET Chemical data,• Keep feedback from the participants

Participants were Coordinators (OGS, Maris), Gher Ulg, Regional Leaders plus:

Simon Claus VLIZ – Biology Lot

The New Phase

Enlarged partnership: 32 partners + 14 sub-contractors = total of 46 participants (about twice!);

New parameters;

The portal should cover all European waters;

New products: new tools to be developed for coastal visualization + proposal for assessment !!!

Specific focus on Coastal Data.

The portal should collect the following groups of chemicals:

- in 3 matrices: water column, biota, sediment.- in all European waters.

Data harvesting and products generation are organized at Regional level. 5 sea regions have been defined as:

• Greater North Sea (including Norwegian Sea and Celtic Sea);

• Atlantic Sea (including Atlantic Coast and Macaronesia);

• Baltic Sea;

• Black Sea;

• Mediterranean Sea.

Data Collection

As for Pilot the methodology is based on SeaDataNet network of NODCs and infrastructure:

•An efficient distributed Marine Data Management Infrastructure for large and diverse sets of data from in situ and remote observation of the seas and oceans.

•Actively involved in standards implementation following INSPIRE;

•A de-facto standard with: 44 partners and 14 subcontractors from 35 countries EU and not that are the network of National Oceanographic Data Centers (NODCs) involved in the data collection through the European Seas.

Approach

CDIs made available through the portal for European waters, at last progress report (m10):at last progress report (m10):Total 581,300 Total 581,300 increase of 39,279. increase of 39,279.

After one month: Total 584,455 After one month: Total 584,455 increase of 3,145. increase of 3,145.

Of these 82 %82 % are unrestricted (unrestricted and SeaDataNet license)are unrestricted (unrestricted and SeaDataNet license), while others 18% 18% require negotiationrequire negotiation.

Positive feedback in data collection activity by partners!

Parameter Groups (Hydrocarbons, Metal and metalloid concentrations, PCBs and organic micropollutants...) for MSFD Descriptor 8 «Contaminants»

Data Products generation

Thanks also to the analysis of 1 st Expert Workshop highlighted 2 main subsets of the available data:

-DIVA (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis) horizontal maps produced for parameters with homogeneous data coverage, measured on basin scale;

Not homogeneous ditributionIn time and space (basins)

Homogeneous distributionIn time and space (basins)

-Time series plots of measured data produced for not homogeneous data (coastal points repeated in time, datasets with fragmented coverage.)

How to highlight data features?

• Temporal resolution VS data availability

• n.of products VS MSFD regions?

• Finalization interactive Time Series plots from observed data

Data Discovery and data access

Improved search criteria in dedicated web portal :

Data can be downloaded in Odv format

2 linked parameter search criteria:-general (P03)more analytic (P02)

Area selection:-Classic geobox-Selection by Sea Regions polygons

Products:

DIVA interpolated maps

North Sea Seasonal Nutrients

Black Sea Annual/seasonal Nutrients, Metals, Radioniclides

Med Sea Annual/seasonal Nutrients

Products generation workflow:

From Data to Products – products workflow

• Beside the static Time Series plots, much activity is ongoing to produce dynamic Time Series plots :

• Definition of relevant sets of stations with long time series for the focus parameters (nutrients)

• Setting of Robot Harvester for the Buffer generation

• Development of technical aspects for the viewing services working on top of the Buffer

• Integration of the resulting layer with Stations and Graphics into OceanBrowser.
