1 W1-M3A Offshore Observatory W1-M3A Offshore Observatory P.I.: Roberto Bozzano, CNR-ISSIA Data Manager: Sara Pensieri, CNR-ISSIA PROGETTO BANDIERA RITMARE SP “SISTEMI OSSERVATIVI” - WP3.AZ2

2 The W1-M3A observatory monitors lower atmosphere processes, near surface down to the ocean interior physical and biogeochemical properties of the water column conforming to the concept of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Essential Climate Variables (ECVs). The system acquires data on board, and transmits data ashore to the W1-M3A in situ TAC (Thematic Assembly Center) where they are decoded, automatically quality controlled and distributed in standard formats to users.

13 Problems/Issues to Be Raised Workshop Ritmare Sp5-Wp3, Trieste 27-28 October 2015 Safety of the observatory May 2, 2014 collision with bulkcarrier UBC Livorno. Damages to some meteorological sensors, solar panels, wind turbines, ladder. Costs: increasing costs for data transmission. Spare sensors: necessary for assuring the availability of long time series of oceanographic variables.

14 Future Vision Workshop Ritmare Sp5-Wp3, Trieste 27-28 October 2015 Statements Fixed observatories (buoys/moorings) are part of a complex multi-platform and multi-disciplinary ocean observing system. None single type of platform can resolve at the same time all necessary spatial and time scales to accomplish an effective monitoring of the ocean status. Next steps Contribute to the multi-platform integrated observing system of the Mediterranean Sea able to fill spatial and temporary gaps. Continue to provide open access services for scientists, decision-makers and society directly based on real-time data. Take advantage of technological innovations for developing long-term monitoring system of key parameters (carbon dioxide, pH, oxygen) at global, regional, and local scale. Go beyond assessed parameters for responding to the demand of a sustained bio-geochemical ocean monitoring (ocean acidification, aerosol, etc.).

Consolidamento delle capacità di monitoraggio delle componenti fisiche-chimico- biologiche dell’osservatorio W1-M3A, sia dal punto di vista tecnologico (aggiornamento tecnico/funzionale) che scientifico (impiego di strumentazione innovativa, essential ocean variables). Miglioramento dell'affidabilità di lungo periodo dell’osservatorio W1-M3A in termini di qualità, continuità e distribuzione dei dati raccolti. SP5_WP3_AZ2_UO2 Sviluppo di metodologie comuni per il controllo di qualità dei dati acquisiti sia per trasmissioni in tempo reale che in differita a partire da standard internazionali. Proposizione di linee guida comuni per l’acquisizione e la disseminazione dei dati attraverso lo sviluppo di protocolli di comunicazione bidirezionali che consentano un'efficiente trasmissione di dati dai sistemi remoti alle stazioni riceventi. Implementazione del W1-M3A Buoy Data Management Infrastructure per la distribuzione delle misure raccolte ai centri di raccolta nazionali ed internazionali e la realizzazione di servizi per un pubblico generico (p.e., creazione di indicatori).
