+===== Task Description - the short version =====
-**Objectives**: Establish a framework for integrating and harmonising observations of river runoff to
+**What**:
-the European coastal seas and providing them to coastal and shelf seas monitoring and forecasting
-services.
-**Description**: This Task will facilitate access to runoff data for use in the ECOOP observing and
+  - Get an overview of what's available, what's possible to access in the (near) future and how.
-forecasting system. The activities are: identifying the relevant data sources and their providers
+  - Set up procedures for data provision via the EDMS.
-(catalogue), establishing effective methods for getting data from the providers to the ECOOP users
+  - Implement an initial feed of NRT river data to demonstrate value.
-and putting into effect actual data streams for the major sources. This work is necessary for ECOOP
-because fresh water fluxes to the coastal seas, and the accompanying nutrient and pollutant loads,
-are important for accurate monitoring and forecasting the coastal zone ecosystem, pollutant fate as
-well as for coastal flood management. Observing systems are fragmented, even within nations, and
-the data are difficult to access, especially in near-real-time (NRT). Efforts towards integrating
-observations have been mainly focused on hydrology and river flooding, not coastal monitoring.
-Consequently, predictive coastal ocean models usually rely on simple approximations of river
-runoff, such as climatologies. Integration is necessary since fresh water effects on the coastal seas
-are intrinsically trans-boundary.
-Given the fragmented state of the European river observing system, this task will work through the
+**How**:
-five EuroGOOS regional associations: BOOS, NOOS, IBI-ROOS, MedGOOS and Black Sea
-GOOS. It will be most efficient to exploit the national contact networks represented by the
-association memberships. The task team therefore includes a key member from each regional
-association plus a task leader. Each regional partner will liaise closely with their association
-membership in carrying out the Work. This will ensure that the resulting data provision system is
-properly tuned to the needs of the regional users and that it will optimally benefit those users. This
-approach builds on early initiatives within some of the associations, e.g., a project with similar
-objectives has been started in NOOS as a "best endeavours" activity. The Task will cover both
-archived and on-line data, volume flux, nutrient and pollutant loads, but the focus will be on
-implementing a NRT data access to fresh water volume flux, since this is the basic time-critical data
-stream.
-===== Work Package Description (Annex I 8.5) =====
+  * Work through the ROOS'es to access data providers.
+  * Cooperate with the EDMS developers on provision to users – ROOSes as main channel.
