EuroGOOS, European Global Ocean Observing System

🌍 This week is filled with exciting events! 📌 Today marks the start of the Annual Meeting of the North West Shelf Operational Oceanographic System (#NOOS) in Copenhagen. The NOOS community will be presenting its 2030 strategy, discussing cooperation with the Baltic Operational Oceanographic System #BOOS, and engaging with the #EuroGOOS expert community. We'll also hear about the national developments of NOOS members and Pan-European projects and initiatives. 💡 On the last day, they will host the second edition of the AMRIT_EU Advance Marine Research Infrastructures Together Project Workshop. These workshops are designed for operators, PIs, implementers, and users to share valuable input for the design and development of #EOOS services and tools. 🌊 The 8th edition of the Ocean Best Practices System Workshop (#OBPS WSVIII) begins today, fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue in #operationaloceanography by promoting best practices across science and technology. Three of our European projects will be contributing to several key sessions: 🔷 BioEcoOcean will participate in special sessions to connect communities involved in Biology and Ecosystem (BioEco) ocean observation and forecasting, promoting collaboration and the exchange of ideas and best practices. 🔷 AMRIT_EU Advance Marine Research Infrastructures Together: During the session "AMRIT and OBPS Collaboration Brainstorming", they will explore potential collaboration opportunities between the project and OBPS communities. 🔷 Blue-Cloud 2026 will host a workshop session on October 17th, presenting the Blue-Cloud Data-intensive Workbenches for Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs), developed with marine data providers like #SeaDataNet, #EMODnetChemistry, #CMEMS, and #EcoTaxa. 📺 Follow the workshop on YouTube! https://lnkd.in/ernVEGNA

🚀 Excited to share our latest video spotlighting key advancements in the Land-Ocean Continuum! 🌍 📌 Work Package 4 (WP4), led by SMHI, focuses on refining land-ocean model interfaces. By enhancing the E-HYPE model, calibrating river flows, and improving estuary mixing processes, WP4 is paving the way for more accurate coastal modeling across European basins. 📌 Work Package 5 (WP5), led by CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici, builds on WP4’s progress to validate and demonstrate these improvements. By testing enhanced hydrological models and integrating EMODnet near-real-time data, WP5 is pushing forward model-based monitoring and forecasting for the Copernicus Marine Service. 🌊 Explore the details and see how the #FOCCUS project is advancing sustainable coastal management! 🎥 https://lnkd.in/eMJ_pWZq Copernicus Marine Service Mercator Ocean International +ATLANTIC Brockmann Consult GmbH CLS Group (Collecte Localisation Satellites) CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Stichting Deltares EuroGOOS, European Global Ocean Observing System INSTITUT FRANCAIS DE RECHERCHE POUR L'EXPLOITATION DE LA MER - IFREMER Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon SOCIB SHOM Seascape Belgium Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) #CoastalModeling #LandOceanContinuum #HydrologicalModels #EMODnet #CopernicusMarineService #OceanObservation #Sustainability

🌊 Today marked the conclusion of the fruitful #MonGOOS General Assembly & Workshop in Málaga, hosted by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía. 🌊 The Mediterranean Oceanography Network, together with EuroGOOS, European Global Ocean Observing System, is one of the 15 Global Regional Alliances of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), which aims to develop both sustainable ocean monitoring and tailored services to meet regional and national priorities. The #MonGOOS Workshop was a great opportunity to connect with experts and to participate in key discussions focused on advancing operational oceanographic services in the #Mediterranean. 🔬 👩💻 Researchers and developers presented their work on cutting-edge innovations like AI, Machine Learning, Digital Twins, and the Zero Pollution initiative. Discussions centered on the Mediterranean observing network, model-based simulations, and practical strategies for tackling extreme events. 🙌 Many thanks to the co-organisers, the Málaga team from the Instituto Español de Oceanografía for their support, and special thanks to the speakers and participants whose insightful questions made the workshop a dynamic forum and a valuable exchange of knowledge! 👁️🗨️ 🙋♀️ This edition was the last with Vanessa Cardin as Chair, following her six-year term of dedication and effort to bring together the #Mediterranean community. Thank you for your commitment and passion bringing tangible added value to Mediterranean and European cooperation! 👏 🤝

🚢🌊 The 12th #FerryBox Workshop, held in Helsinki from September 30 to October 2, kindly hosted by Finnish Meteorological Institute, was a fantastic success! 💡 The workshop featured insightful oral and poster presentations covering diverse topics such as physical, chemical, and biological #observations in the sea. Engaging discussions highlighted the latest advances in ocean monitoring technologies and fostered valuable connections within the community. 🔬 In addition to the main sessions, the EU-funded MINKE Project organised the workshops “Metrology for young and early career marine scientists and technical staff working within FerryBox observations”. These sessions explored the metrology of fluorescence measurements and plankton imaging, providing a unique platform to dive deeper into specific challenges faced in ocean observation. 👏 A huge thanks to the organising team: the Task Team Co-Chairs Andrew Luke from The Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA), and Anna Willstrand Wranne from Voice of the Ocean Foundation, Jukka Seppälä, Katri Kuuppo, Annaliina Skyttä, Lauri Laakso, and Martti Honkanen, from Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) - Suomen ympäristökeskus (Syke)/Finnish Meteorological Institute, presenters, and participants who made the 12th #FerryBox Workshop such a success. 👀 We look forward to seeing you all at the next edition that will take place in Heraklion, hosted by Hellenic Centre for Marine Research!

📌 The Mediterranean Operational Network for the Global Ocean Observing System (#MonGOOS) community, is meeting in Málaga (Spain) from October 1st to 3rd for their Annual Meeting and Workshop, kindly hosted by the Spanish partner Instituto Español de Oceanografía. 🌞 #MonGOOS, as part of the implementation of the UN Ocean Decade, focuses on enhancing and promoting operational oceanographic services in the #Mediterranean. The network consists of three key working groups—Observation, Modeling, and Application—each driving activities in these key areas. The observation infrastructures play a vital role in coastal monitoring systems, with direct impact on the surveillance of large regional areas. This integrated, cross-platform monitoring system is recognized as essential for advancing a sustainable #BlueEconomy in the Mediterranean. 🌊 🐟 Yesterday, an insightful session was held to enhance understanding of the Mediterranean’s adaptation to climate change and extreme events, with a focus on fisheries and conservation perspectives. The discussion explored valuable insights for fostering stronger connections between ocean observation systems and fisheries management efforts. ☑ Today also marked the first workshop of the AMRIT_EU Advance Marine Research Infrastructures Together Project, gathering operators, principal investigators, implementers, and users to provide input on the design and development of #EOOS services and tools, including priorities for network integration. These regionally tailored workshops are held in parallel with the annual meetings of all EuroGOOS regions (#ArcticROOS, #BOOS, #IBIROOS, #NOOS). The next workshop will be held in Copenhagen during the 2024 NOOS Annual Meeting: https://lnkd.in/eiHVy-2Q Big thanks to the Chair Vanessa Cardin for bringing together the Mediterranean community! 🤝
