European COastal-shelf sea OPerational observing and forecasting system (ECOOP)

2010-4-30
Bingel , Ferit
The overall goal of ECOOP is to: Consolidate, integrate and further develop existing European coastal and regional seas operational observing and forecasting systems into an integrated pan-European system targeted at detecting environmental and climate changes, predicting their evolution, producing timely and quality assured forecasts, providing marine information services (including data, information products, knowledge and scientific advices) and facilitate decision support needs. This is to be attained through the following activities: - Integrate existing coastal and regional sea observing (remote sensing, in-situ) networks into a pan-European observing system - Integrate existing coastal and regional sea forecasting systems into a pan-European fore casting system and assimilate pan-European observation database into the system - Assess the quality of pan-European observing and forecasting system - Advance key technologies for the current and next generation pan-European observing and forecasting system - Develop and generate value-added products for detecting environment and climate change signals - Integrate and implement a pan-European Marine Information System of Systems (EuroMISS) for general end user needs - Develop methodology and demonstrate an European Decision Support System for coastal and regional seas (EuroDeSS) that responds to the needs from targeted end users, as emphasized in the GEOSS and GMES initiatives - Carry out technology transfer both in Europe and at intercontinental level, establish education and training capacities to meet the need for ocean forecasters

A supporting programme for capacity building in the black sea region towards operational status of oceanographic services (ASCABOS)
Beşiktepe, Şükrü Turan(2008-11-31)
Communications, data and information exchange are the key elements of the operational ocean monitoring and forecasting networks, defined in the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). Development of observing and closely related operational forecasting syste m in the Black Sea region requires the exchange of significant data and information volumes. ASCABOS is designed to strengthen the communication system ensuring flexible and operative infrastructure for data and information exchange between partners and e...
Policy-oriented marine Environmental Research in the Southern EUropean Seas (PERSEUS)
Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan(2015-12-31)
The overall scientific objectives of PERSEUS are to identify the interacting patterns of natural and human-derived pressures on the Mediterranean and Black Seas, assess their impact on marine ecosystems and, using the objectives and principles of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive as a vehicle, to design an effective and innovative research governance framework based on sound scientific knowledge. Well-coordinated scientific research and socio-economic analysis will be applied at a wide-ranging scale, ...
European Union Basin-scale Analysis, Synthesis and Integration (EURO-BASIN)
Salihoğlu, Barış(2014-12-30)
EURO-BASIN is designed to advance our understanding on the variability, potential impacts, and feedbacks of global change and anthropogenic forcing on the structure, function and dynamics of the North Atlantic and associated shelf sea ecosystems as well as the key species influencing carbon sequestering and ecosystem functioning. The ultimate goal of the program is to further our capacity to manage these systems in a sustainable manner following the ecosystem approach. Given the scope and the international ...
Investigating time series shoreline changes by integration of remote sensing and geographical information systems
Fulat, İhsan Alper; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2005)
Spatial analyses of shoreline recession and accretion, and future shoreline position predictions in coastal countries have considerable importance due to engineering, planning, management and environmental concerns. In spite of this importance, there are only a few studies in Turkey. The aim of this thesis are to determine the shoreline rate-of-change of Büyük Menderes Delta, by geographical information systems for the last fifty-year period, in order to approximate future shoreline position of Büyük Mender...
A MSFD complementary approach for the assessment of pressures knowledge and data gaps in Southern European Seas The PERSEUS experience
Crise, A; et. al. (2015-06-01)
PERSEUS project aims to identify the most relevant pressures exerted on the ecosystems of the Southern European Seas (SES), highlighting knowledge and data gaps that endanger the achievement of SES Good Environmental Status (GES) as mandated by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). A complementary approach has been adopted, by a meta-analysis of existing literature on pressure/impact/knowledge gaps summarized in tables related to the MSFD descriptors, discriminating open waters from coastal areas....
