Main objectives of R&D activities over 3 years : Improvement of inter-sensor bias correction schemes Improvement of error co-variances used in SST analysis

schemes Improvement of SST climatologies SST analysis in Arctic Ocean Marginal Ice Zone Necessary R&D activities for SST TAC new products (OSTIA re-

analysis, higher resolution regional SST analyses)

Main issues : Little resources dedicated to R&D (low ratio imposed during the

proposal preparation) MyOcean R&D call : no possibility for funding R&D activities

outside the MyOcean Consortium

Reminder - Objectives for R&D

Marine Core Service


R&D : main achievements

Main achievements for the 2nd year : OSTIA re-analysis : final tuning of the OSTIA re-analysis chain before

extensive re-processing : improved sea ice masking of PATHFINDER AVHRR data, improved smoothness in time, bias correction of ATSR-1 data against in-situ observations (MetO)

HR and UHR SST analyses in Med Sea : development of an improved bias correction and data merging scheme, and validation of the new scheme over year 2008 (CNR)

Main difficulty : DMI/M-F proposal on inter-sensor bias correction to the first MyOcean

R&D call finally not endorsed by SAC

Remaining activities/objectives Improvement of SST climatologies : will be derived from OSTIA re-

analysis (MetO)

Marine Core Service


Main objectives over 3 years : From V0 to V1, main objectives are :

Operational consolidation of processing systems in place Interfacing with MyOcean system (Service Desk, MIS etc…) Implementation of KPIs for SST TAC production Definition and implementation of NRT quality control and

validation tools for SST TAC Implementation of the OSTIA re-analysis chain

From V1 to V2, products upgrades (higher resolution SST analyses over Baltic Sea and Arctic Ocean)

Main issue : too short time between the availability of specifications for V1 (T0

+ 5) and the V1 operational qualification (T0 + 18)

Reminder - Objectives for Dev. & Maintenance

Marine Core Service


Dev. & Maint. : main achievements

Main achievements for the 2nd year : Implementation, configuration and testing of the THREDDS server

and MIS gateway in SST TAC Dissemination Units (IFR, CNR and MetO)

Consolidation of operational production line for Arctic SST analysis (Met.no)

Development of new operational production line for global ODYSSEA SST analysis (IFR)

Main difficulties : Lack of progress of HR-DDS (NOCS) Lack of information for THREDDS server configuration and MIS

gateway installation Very tight schedule for V1 integration and testing

Remaining tasks : Upgrades for V2 (including evolution towards GDS V2)

Marine Core Service


Production architecture : SST TAC production distributed over 6 Production Units A 7th unit running a central quality monitoring and validation tool

(HR-DDS at NOCS) SST TAC products from 4 Production Units disseminated by IFR 2 other Dissemination Units : MetO (OSTIA, GMPE), CNR (Med

Sea and Black Sea products) Almost all production lines already in place (but at various

operational levels), key issue for V1 is their integration into the MyOcean system

Main issue : Not enough resources for extensive reprocessing of all SST TAC

products

Reminder - Objectives for Production

Marine Core Service


Production : main achievements

Main achievements for the 2nd year : All committed SST TAC near real-time products produced and

made available operationally for V1 Stream 1(except global ODYSSEA SST analysis)

All SST TAC Dissemination Units interfaced with the MyOcean system

Global OSTIA SST re-analysis (1985 – 2007) produced and made available (MetO)

Main difficulties : Start of global ODYSSEA SST analysis operational production

delayed (IFR) Remaining objectives :

Operational production of remaining committed products for V1 (global ODYSSEA SST analysis)

Improvement of incident/problem management in SST TAC

Marine Core Service


Main objectives over 3 years : Quality control of input satellite data sources (L2P) based on match-

up data bases (in-situ) made available in NRT by IFR and monitored continuously by M-F

First quality control step in NRT by each production unit for its products (L3/L4)

All SST TAC NRT products fed into the HR-DDS at NOCS, which can generate alarm messages to production units

Use of GMPE for quality control and validation of global SST analyses (MetO)

Main issue : Definition of common validation areas and metrics with the MFCs

Reminder - Objectives for Cal / Val

Marine Core Service


Cal/Val : main achievements

Main achievements for the 2nd year : Collection/production of match-up data bases for most of the input

L2P SST TAC products in a standardized format (IFR) Implementation of consistent products validation and quality

monitoring schemes in all SST Production Units

Main difficulties : Lack of progress of HR-DDS (NOCS)

Remaining tasks : Full exploitation of match-up data bases for continuous quality

monitoring of input L2P SST products (M-F)

Marine Core Service


Scientific Challenge :– Strong interaction needed to understand and define which is the

“best” satellite SST product for data assimilation in each MFC (we didn’t achieve this in MERSEA)

Technical Challenge :– Schedule for V1 getting more and more challenging (detailed

interface specifications between production/dissemination units and central sub-systems not yet frozen)

Operational Challenges :– Strong dependence on multiple input satellite data sources (SST

L2P producers)– Single point of failure : AATSR SST L2P products (currently no

satellite alternative for bias correction)

Main Challenges

Marine Core Service


Scientific Challenges– None

Technical Challenges– None

Operational Challenges– Management of SST TAC transition from V1 to V2 (SST TAC

products format change), and of its impact on users

Ultimate Challenges– Having and keeping people with the right expertise in the right job

in the long term

Main Risks– Disappoint users

Future Challenges

Marine Core Service


Past :– December 2010 : SST TAC near real-time products part of MyOcean V1

Stream1– End 2010 : end of global OSTIA SST re-analysis production (1985 –

2007)

Future :– June 2011 : global ODYSSEA SST analysis part of MyOcean V1

Stream2– End 2011 / early 2012 : SST TAC production compliant with GDS V2
