Jerico WP2 Strengthening regional and trans-regional activities

WP 2 Regional activities Objectives

– Make an inventory of existing

coastal observing systems

– To identify data to be used for demonstration, for inter-calibration (WP4) and data collection in servers (WP5)

WP 2 Regional activities Objectives

– To identify main gaps between accessible observations and data needs and address how to fill these gaps at the regional level (link with WP9)

– To demonstrate the feasibility of joint transregional product production


WP 2 Regional activities Partners in WP2

• Arctic ROOS IMR• BOOS SMHI• NOOS Deltares and IMR• IBI ROOS IH and AZTI• MOON INGV• Black Sea IO-BAS

• Meetings:• organised around the GA • at Annual meetings of the Rooses • attached to common conferences

• EuroGOOS conference would be an excellent opportunity

WP 2 structure

• 7 partners, 2 tasks, 5 deliverables

• Task 2.1: State of the Art in Coastal observing systems

– Henning Wehde – IMR, SMHI, Deltares ,IH, AZTI, INGV, IO-BAS

• Task 2.2 Cross regional integration and demonstration

– Chantal Donnelly - SMHI, IMR, Deltares ,IH, AZTI, INGV, IO-BAS

Deliverables:– D2.1 (12) Report on existing observation

network from all ROOSs

– D2.2 (12) Report on recommendations for future research and developments for filling gaps in all ROOSs

– D2.3 (18) Integrated Pan European Atlas/first report on Coastal Observing systems

– D2.4 (24) Demonstration of the feasibility of joint trans-regional product production Transports; E-HYPE

– D2.5 (48) update at the end of the project


Task 2.1 State of the Art in Coastal observing systems

• In each of the European regions:– Adress the state of the Art in

terms of coastal observing systems

– contributing to an overall atlas of the European coastal observing systems

– Based on f.e. Edios, Seprise, EEA Insitu data requirements


• Review of ongoing and planned programmes and projects collecting in situ data

• Establishment of an inventory of existing observing systems, with special focus on up till now not sufficiently considered biochemical parameters, terms for data accessibility, administrative and legal barriers

• Identify data and make data available on servers WP5


• Identification of the main gaps between accessible observations and data needs, define priorities

• Identification of methodological/technical gaps (discussion to conduct with WP3)

• Development of recommendations on how to fill these gaps at the regional and at the technological level


Task 2.2 Cross regional integration and demonstration

• S2.2.1 Demonstration of pan-European transport product– Exploring/inventory of observations on fluxes in

the different areas– Define operational products based on this and

connect to operational users

• S.2.2.2 E-HYPE European Hydrological Predictions for the Environment– Access to water discharge and nutrient

transport from main rivers and diffuse outlets on a daily timescale and at a high spatial resolution.

Task 2.2.1 Cross regional integration and demonstration

• Transport– Model products existing (i.e.NOOS)– Exploring observations for an

observational based Pan-European product

– Users that are foreseen: • science related to ecosystem approach• OSPAR; MSFD,... • National requirements and authorities,

Example NOOS fluxes model product


• E-HYPE• New, daily output, hydrological model based on

widely accepted hydrological concepts (SMHI/HBV)• Integrated modules for nutrient and conservative

tracers• Wide range of parameters modelled (runoff,

soilmoisture, snowdepth, groundwaterlevel, N, P, O18 )

• Model already used at local, regional and pan-European scale for research purposes

• E-HYPE for Swedish rivers (> 17 000 basins) has already been set-up, calibrated and placed into production at SMHI

• Introduces the ability to model very large regions at high resolution simultaneously


• Aim for new obs data from all regions

• New obtained data from JERICO will be used for :– Assimilation

– Calibration

– Validation

• Hindcast, real time and forecast

• Daily volume and nutrient fluxes will be provided (available from 1990 til real time)

• Optional: Sensitivity studies with coastal models available from the partners are subject for discussion



• Thanks for your attention
