To improve and innovate Atlantic Ocean observing, via a more systematic, cost effective and user-driven international integrated observing system.
General aims
To achieve a transition from a loosely-coordinated set of existing ocean observing activities to a sustainable, efficient, and fit-for-purpose Integrated Atlantic Ocean Observing System (IAOOS), by defining requirements and systems design, improving the readiness of observing networks and data systems, and engaging stakeholders around the Atlantic; and leaving a legacy and strengthened contribution to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).
CMCC Role
(OPA Division): To estimate hazard and cost associated to ship routes in the Atlantic Ocean and to realize an interactive user-interface for querying the resulting database.
(ODA Division): Improved design of the in-situ observing system for ocean reanalysis, analysis and forecasting of physical variables and test of different models and methods for robustness.
Expected results
(OPA Division): To develop an interactive system for hazard mapping of Atlantic ship routes.
(ODA Division): To deliver objective guidelines to improve existing elements and/or implement new components of the IAOOS.
