  ABSTRACT: ESONET is an European Network of Excellence (NoE) associating 50 partners (research centres, universities, industrials and SMEs) from 14 countries: France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Bulgaria and Turkey. More than 300 scientists and engineers will participate to its activities. The goal of the ESONET NOE is the lasting integration of European research on deep sea multidisciplinary observatories. Over the initial 4 years, the approach will be to merge the programmes of members Organisations through research activities addressing the scientific objectives and networking activities specially designed for integration and spreading excellence. ESONET NoE will create an organisation capable of implementing, operating and maintaining a network of multidisciplinary ocean observatories in deep waters around Europe. The NoE will structure the resources of the participating institutes to create the necessary critical mass, remove barriers and through a joint programme of activities arrive at durable solutions for this future organisation.

  Chapter: In-Situ Observations: Operational Systems and Data Management

  Sylvie Pouliquen
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: This paper presents, through existing examples, the main characteristics of operational in-situ observing systems and the data management issues to be addressed for operational oceanography needs. It provides the main characteristics of an operational in situ observing system in comparison with a research one in term of sustainability, coverage, timeliness, implementation issues and international coordination. It highlights the main features that have to be put in place for operational system data management and differences between different architectures that are nowadays operated.

  ABSTRACT: The seven French agencies concerned by ocean research are developing together a strong capability in operational oceanography based on a triad including satellite altimetry (JASON), numerical modelling with assimilation (MERCATOR), and in-situ data (CORIOLIS).

• Conference Proceeding: A new collocation system at CERSAT

  ABSTRACT: Since 1994 CERSAT has been archiving, processing and distributing the ERS scatterometer data to users world-wide. In 1996, CERSAT started providing similar services for the NSCAT scatterometer, launched on board the Japanese satellite ADEOS 1 in August 1996. The main problem was to inter-calibrate both instruments to be able to combine these two datasets. Thus in 1996, we decided to generate products collocated between NSCAT, the ERS-2 scatterometer as well as the altimeter to facilitate their calibration/validation tasks. We put these data on our WWW server for scientists who regularly use our datasets. But, the system was designed to generate a specific dataset for each collocation. It was difficult to add a new sensor at short notice. When the QuikScat mission was decided by NASA in 1997, the QuikScat scientific team asked CERSAT to provide collocated datasets between QuikScat and the ERS-2 scatterometer and altimeter and also TOPEX or SSM/I if possible. As collocated datasets seemed to be essential to satellite-driven data applications we decided to build a new system which could “easily” collocate any nuplets (up to 5 in fact) since they were handled by the CERSAT databases. We identified two types of applications using collocated products : calibration/validation applications, geophysical applications. These are discussed

• Conference Proceeding: The French processing and archiving facility: Overview and status

  ABSTRACT: The CERSAT (French PAF) is part of the overall ERS-1 ground segment dedicated to archiving, processing and distribution of the low bit rate data, i.e. Radar Altimeter, Scatterometer, SAR Wave Mode and Microwave Sounder. On July 1991, once ERS-1 was successfully launched, the F/PAF started a long period of system improvement and operation acceptance tests. In July 1992, ASE decided to process with the highest priority, all the altimeter (and microwave sounder) data and fixed a new mission named “adapted mission in order to recover the backlog before mid 1993. Today, the situation is nominal for the FDP, and OPR, which are processed as soon as the precise orbit is available (the OPR product is available within six months after real time). Up to mid 1993, all the products were disseminated on CCT 6250 bpi digital tapes, fully quality controlled. In order to provide the best possible service to the user community the authors started the distribution of the data on CD-ROM and exabyte at the end of 1993. In the next months, many improvements are planned for the CERSAT. The main ones are reprocessing off Scatterometer data for the whole ERS-1 mission (in 1994) and preparation of the ERS2 mission. Now, as CERSAT is operational for RA and MWS processing, its goal is to provide the best possible service with and for the user community
