Main keys

• Objective pan-European service for ocean
  monitoring and forecasting
• Targetted users specialized service providers
• Challenge a sustained European Marine Core
  Service
• Framework European Union  GMES  program
• Budget 55 M
• Funding European Commission 33 M / Partners 22
  M
• Duration 3 years
• Consortium 61 partners, 29 countries
• Organization a pan-European system composed of
  12 units, 5 for observations, 7 for
  assimilation/modelling, and shared facilities
• the GODAE centres in Europe, working together
  to provide a single pan-European service,
  reducing unnecessary redundancies, increasing the
  service value

spill combat, ship routing, defense, search
rescue, )
Area 3  MARINE AND COASTAL ENVIRONMENT  (water
quality, pollution, coastal activities, )
Area 4  CLIMATE SEASONAL FORECASTING  (climate
monitoring, ice, seasonal forecasting, ..)

A European Marine core serviceseeking for the
european added value
From GMES MCS Implementation Group report by
P.Ryder al, oct 2005

• In 3 years, create the maximum core value for
  the users by providing on a reliable basis the
  common denominator data for all users in the
  marine sector, in other words the information for
  existing new downstream services.

10
