  1. JCOMM in situ Observing Platform Support Centre JCOMMOPS http://www.jcommops.org/

  2. http://www.jcommops.org/ • JCOMMOPS was established by JCOMM to combine international coordination efforts on the: • Data Buoy Cooperation Panel, DBCP (drifting and moored buoys) • Ship Observations Team, SOT (including its 3 panels – SOOPIP, ASAPP, VOS) • Argo, Profiling Float Programme. Data Buoy Cooperation Panel http://www.dbcp.noaa.gov/dbcp/ Argo Information Centre http://argo.jcommops.org/ Ship Observations Team http://www.jcommops.org/sot/

  3. JCOMMOPS • Two Technical Coordinators at JCOMMOPS - Mathieu Belbeoch (Argo) and Hester Viola (DBCP/SOT) • Provide support to programme planning, implementation, monitoring and operations, including: • observational data requirements and data flow • technologies, instrumentation and costs • operational status of observing networks (maps, monitoring and analysis) • deployment opportunities (by ship and air). • community information – eg News, Meeting information, Contact information and mailing lists

  4. Observational Networks - Maps Live, dynamic & interactive maps e.g. http://w4.jcommops.org/website/GOOS/viewer.htm http://w4.jcommops.org/website/Argo/viewer.htm http://w4.jcommops.org/website/Gloss/viewer.htm Observational Network maps (produced monthly)

  5. Observational Networks - status • Web Mapping interfaces, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Google Earth can be used to visualise where platforms are located. • Web Map Services (WMS) are available to “plug in” JCOMMOPS data to existing GIS tools.

  6. Examples of queries about data • View News items about International Programmes • Observational Platform Query • e.g. based on unique identifier (WMO Number), all platforms owned by a programme/agency, within a geographical area… • View contact details for people or organisations participating in International Programmes • Search for meeting dates, reports or technical papers prepared by JCOMM (can be sent in hard copy upon request) • View images of platforms, people or maps • Link to related websites and other information sources

  7. Tools for monitoring data • JCOMMOPS provides tools to report and analyse quality of data over time and which the various data sets collected

  8. JCOMMOPS is a support centre NOT a data centre • It provides information and metadata – not raw data (available from providers, archives or on the GTS of WMO) • It acts as a gateway/portal to find information on how to obtain data itself. • Links to Meteorological centres and Information about the GTS of WMO • Archived Buoy data and Ship based XBT data • Canadian Marine Environmental Data Services • USA NOAA/National Oceanographic Data Center • Argo Float data • Argo Information Centre http://www.argo.net • US GODAE server • French Coriolis Centre • Community Information – News, meetings, Mailing lists

  9. Data Availability • Meteorological Centers also provide meteorological and oceanographic data as well as quality monitoring statistics for that data.
