North Sea ocean colour sites
AERONET - provides high quality radiometric data for validation of satellite ocean colour.
Globally – only15 operational sites

EuroGOOS and data
Interoperability
EOOS is a coordinating framework designed to: - align and integrate Europe’s ocean observing capacity;
- promote a systematic and collaborative approach to collecting information on the state and variability of our seas; - underpin sustainable management of the marine environment and its resources
•Spatial gaps •horizontal – SE European seas; •vertical – deep sea is under-sampled;
•Temporal gaps •few complete time series;
•Parameter gaps •biogeochemical; sensors are now available;
•Long term commitments•more than 70% based on short term research funding;
•Integrated monitoring strategy at European level
•Reduce overlaps; maximize synergies

Open on-line stakeholder consultation (6 weeks)115 responses from 30 countries
Scope:Align and connect existing effort, identify and fill gaps, promote multi-use, feed into global
Geographic: Include EU contribution to the global observing system
Governance:Preference for a bottom-up “forum” type governance model.
