- | ====== S9.2.2 - Ecosystem health in the North Sea ====== | ||
- | ===== Description ===== | ||
- | This work package addresses ' | ||
- | * SmartBuoys operated by the Centre for Environment, | ||
- | * Ferrybox systems operated by the UK National Oceanography Centre, and the Norwegian Institute for Water Research | ||
- | * Fixed platforms that contribute observations to EuroGOOS, through the SEPRISE project | ||
- | Other observations are to be included during the demonstration phase. Standards based data services have been used where possible: Open Geospatial Consortium Web Map Services for maps, Web Feature Service for observations, | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Users and user requirements ===== | ||
- | |||
- | User requirements were captured for S9.2.2 Ecosystem Health in the North Sea and S9.2.8 Environmental Status Support to North Sea Fisheries Assessment, from interviews conducted with users and experts. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Variables: ==== | ||
- | |||
- | * Temperature, | ||
- | * Waves, wind and currents also useful for fisheries. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Products: ==== | ||
- | |||
- | * Maps of surface and bottom fields and anomalies, and surface-bottom difference as a familiar proxy for stratification. | ||
- | |||
- | * Time series. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Time Horizon: ==== | ||
- | |||
- | * Daily for ecosystem health, past data plus five day forecast where available. | ||
- | * Monthly means for fisheries. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Regions: ==== | ||
- | |||
- | * Whole MRCS domain fine for Ecosystem Health – DESS provides full flexibility for region and zoom | ||
- | * Subregions useful for fisheries - ICES regions are a good choice. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Resolution: ==== | ||
- | |||
- | * 6km model resolution adequate for open water applications but may be insufficient for very-near-coast applications. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== The present system ===== | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | The system will contain the following information | ||
- | * Ecosystem information from Met Office Medium Resolution Continental Shelf - European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model (MRCS-ERSEM), | ||
- | * Forecast and hindcast information from model and observations, | ||
