My. Ocean: The European GMES Marine Core Service functions Satellite and in situ data Geoportal For Data Access The Marine Core Service delivers regular and systematic reference information on the state of the oceans and regional seas of known quality and accuracy

The Marine Core Service for users: 4 areas of benefit n GMES service delivers a service to: MARINE AND COASTAL ENVIRONMENT – European agencies (EEA, EMSA, EDA, . . . ) – Member State Users: National / Regional Service Providers (public or private) – Intergovernmental bodies (OSPAR, UNEP-MAP, HELCOM, ICES, . . . ) MARINE RESOURCES MARINE SAFETY – Private businesses WEATHER, CLIMATE & SEASONAL FORECASTING

A regional experience: ADRICOSM • The Italian Ministry of Environment and Territory started an ADRICOSM Pilot Project in October 2001 to develop the monitoring and modelling of the Adriatic currents and ecosystem in order to detect changes and mitigate impacts • Other Projects will start in 2004 that will continue the ADRICOSM developments • The last ended of these projects is ADRICOSM-STAR: ADRICOSM INTEGRATED RIVER BASIN AND COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: MONTENEGRO COASTAL AREA AND BOJANA RIVER CATCHMENT • The last on-going project is Adricosm-Intermediate

ADRICOSM APPROACH Coastal water cycle integrated strategy Numerical Multidisciplinary models of the Multi-platform atmosphere, Observing system marine and river (satellites, hydrodynamcs, atmospheric underground waters and coupled to water oceanographic stations, quality and river, urban sediment and underground water transport monitoring) Climate change scenario simulations coupled to regional/local models Production of generic high quality data for environmental managers and policy makers

Enhancement and continuation of the monitoring system Daily Ocean Color derived parameters have been produced for the study area since 1998 based on Sea. Wi. FS data (CNR-ISAC): • Total Suspended Matter (TSM) • Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) • Attenuation coefficient (K_490) • Chlorophyll (Chl_a) March 4 th 2004

CONCLUSIONS • Within the last 20 years Operational Oceanography has developed a thick network of modelling and observing data and products • At a regional scale (Mediterranean) the “base” products are freely available through My. Ocean • At sub-regional (Adriatic) an effort was done to start to create a semi-centralized Geo. Portal to access the data • All these products proved and keep proving everyday to be fundamental instruments for end users such as European and local Agencies ad Services, Member states, policy and decision makers Thank You
