Summary of last year activities

First half: the main activities were:

Data collection & Metadata compilation;

Products Generation;

Coordination activities.

Second half:

A Critical revision of Products began in September 2011.

A preliminary work for products QC was done for each partner. This brought to the open discussion of the last Liverpool coordination meeting;

Beside this, following the suggestions of MODEG advisory group, the viewing services were upgraded.

Homogeneous ditributionIn time and space (basins)

Expert workshop –Venice, September 2010-discussion and summary of decisions for Products:

Standard Diva Interpolated maps produced for parameters with homogeneous and suitable data coverage, measured on basin scale;

“Time series plots”. Show station maps with plots of measured time series (not trendsnot Emodnet Chemistry target) with link to metadata. This for not homogeneous datasets as:

• coastal points repeated in time,

• datasets with fragmented coverage.

WP3 – QC/QA and Products

WP3 – QC/QA and Products

Products QC (for Diva maps):

-Scientific QC of the source data is the first step (to ensure that only trustworthy data will be used for the gridding procedure);

-the periodic educated evaluation of the gridded field for each Region is the core element in QC process, to identify and check:

- analysis parameter and temporal resolution;

- source datasets that needs to be checked again.

WP3 – QC/QA Products Revision: Maps-Mediterranean Sea:

Adriatic area: to revise the analysis temporal resolution (from annual --> to seasonal);to revise the DIVA analysis parameters (S/N ration, correlation lengths);to reduce the extension of the interpolated field to the northern side of Adriatic;to improve the definition of the regular grid to avoid overlapping between the interpolated field and the coastline.

Spanish area: a revision of the interpolated maps is expected (to check with chemical experts winter nitrate map);

French area: a critical revision of seasonal products is expected;

Cyprus area: a critical revision to the available maps is expected.

-;

Black Sea:

-focus on nitrate and phosphate for products validation (with expert QC check);

- a selection of products is needed between SeaDataNet and Emodnet maps (now both available on the Ocean Browser).

Greater North Sea:

- the interpolated maps will be better at seasonal scale – agreed that this generally is the best way to represent data – Greater North Sea will maintain its seasonal definition, eg: winter as Dec to Feb;

Products Metadata Catalogue

...from Camioon to GEONETWORK:

First idea → to manage Chemistry Lot products metadata with

Camioon service used by MyOcean. Several analysis highlighted that it

does not match SDN/Emodnet needs.

Actual situation → Geonetwork open source software will now be adopted

for this task. It was experimented with Ifremer Sextant Geoviewer.

The products metadata profile XML ISO 19139 need to be checked.

Maps Metadata has been loaded from DivadoXML by Regional Leaders;

TS plots Metadata manually loaded by partners in Sextant CMS.

Activities summaryFirst year activities →

•Set up of the web portal (OGS), filled with core services (Gher, Maris).

•Working group Mailing lists were activated (OGS).

•All Partners started Data collection and metadata compilation (WP2).

•Regional Leaders & Gher group. Products generation and web visualization.

Second year activities →

•Continuation of data collection, metadata compilation and products generation .

•Expert meeting to discuss data and metadata complexity. TS products generation

was common agreement.

•Web questionnaire (BODC) for users Feedback to increase portal functionalities .

•Started TS plots generation(OGS,BSH,IFREMER) and web prototype (Gher).

-Chemitry Lot-

Brief activities summaryThird year activities:

•Continuation of data collection, metadata compilation .

•Continuation of TS plots generation (all partners) and Diva maps.

•Updates for the web as suggested by MODEG advisory group.

•Products critical revision (from September 2011) A Coordination group open

discussion followed revision, this brought to a Validation Guideline available

on the web.

-Chemitry Lot-

Lessons LearnedSource data are not always easily accessible → need to improve data flow (MSFD reporting);

For some areas huge work of data/metadata standardization from source datasets;

The complexity of the measurements covering 8 groups of parameters collected on 3 matrices → need to have wide metadata description and continue with adapting process of SDN infrastructure;

The geographic heterogeneity of the measurements (coastal points time series Vs homogenous sampling) and of measurement methods (instrument, method, target species, target basis, grain sizes) → need to split subsets of homogeneous datasets to generate suitable products;

The “exotic parameters” → need an ad hoc QC protocol;

Products → need to have a regular expert revision;

Users → need to evaluate different classes of users as planned in SDN2

-Chemitry Lot-

What products for the Directive Reporting?→ we could make Diva products with observations before a key date (such as when the MSFD was implemented) to compare any change after implementation;

→ we could produce histograms (in ODV), that can tell how "exceptional" a given measurement is relative to all previous measurements;

→ we could evaluate long-term trends. However, this was not recommended during the Experts workshop (to be undertaken by other initiatives);

→ we could consider nutrients ratio (with silicates, nitrogen and phosphorus);

→ we could include additional metadata with products, if needed;

→ we could consider products related to parameters like chlorophyll, DO, AL and CORG in EMODNET chemistry.

Plots along a coast can be produced already from the Diva maps as a vertical section.
