  2. What is Copernicus? It does Global Monitoring for Environment and Security VP Tajani announced new name this morning! The European Earth monitoring programme - Providing reliable information on the environment and security to public users • Long term and operational • Building on existing assets and capabilities • Complemented by dedicated assets (e.g. Sentinels) • Contributes to growth and job through open data policy to downstream sector

  3. System view Service lines • Land • Atmosphere • Marine • Emergency • Security • Climate Change

  4. Marine environment monitoring Objective: To provide information on the state of physical ocean and marine ecosystems for the global ocean and the European regional areas. Monitoring and forecast, plus reanalysis of past years on • Currents • Temperature • Salinity • Sea ice • Sea level • Surface winds • Biogeochemistry

  5. Current implementation as pilot service • Outside GIO as FP7 research project MyOcean-2 • FP7-SPACE-2011: Prototype Operational Continuity for the GMES Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting Service • 59 participants from 28 different countries • 41,2 M€ total cost (28 M€ EC contribution) • From April 2012 to September 2014 • Coordinator: Mercator Océan • http://www.myocean.eu.org

  6. Main building blocks • Thematic Assembly Centres • Marine Forecasting Centres

  7. GMES: from research to operations Copernicus Timeline Operational service GMES Initial Operations Copernicus Marine Service GMES User Forum RTD GMES User Forum Workshop IG MerSea MyOcean MyOcean -II 2014 2011 2020 2019

  8. Programmatic base • Regulation GMES & its initial operations (GIO) • Communication COM(2011)831 • New EU Financial Regulation Funding • Commission (EC) proposes GMES to be funded outside the MFF • European Parliament (EP) recommends it inside the MFF • No consensus position in the Council • Next EU summit on MFF expected on February 2013
