E-SURFMARStatus and Plans (December 2014)

Pierre Blouch

E-SURFMAR Operational Service Manager


E-SURFMAR – Highlights 2014 (1)

• Drifting buoys – Better distribution than ever : e.g. we never had so many buoys in high latitudes

– Longer lifetimes : one buoy stopped working after 2.5 years at sea

– Savings due to this better efficiency => ~60 k€ by the end of the year

– Reflections about the re-use of recovered buoys : ~10 buoys available in Brest

• VOS ships– Experimentation with a « deck drifter » (refurbished drifting buoy) on a French Navy ship during her campaign in Arctic – Revision of the compensation scheme for VOS observations

– Writing of rules for collaboration on PMO activities (ship visits)

– Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for EUCAWS stations (planned on 17-19 December)


E-SURFMAR – Highlights 2014 (2)

• Data management– Continuation of the TAC2BUFR migration Information on progress regularly published on ECMWF wikisite FM13 messages from conventional VOS now converted into BUFR

– FM13 messages received at KNMI forwarded to Meteo-France for BUFR conversion

– Formalisation of E-SURFMAR ship-to-shore dataformats #100 (S-AWS) and #101 (conventional VOS). Implementation of this latter in TurboWin v5.5

• Other activities– Participation in the Surface Drifter component of AtlantOS proposal (reply to H2020 call BG-8-2014 - In-situ Atlantic ocean observations) Evaluated favourably by EC last week

• Moored buoys– New third party partner : Instituto Hidrografico (IH), Portugal. Their buoy data are forwarded onto the GTS by IPMA

– Experimentation by Met Office with a new type of moored buoy

E-SURFMAR – Plans 2015 (1)

• Drifting buoys (in addition to routine tasks)

– Deployment of 6 to 10 drifters in the Arctic – Start of the work for AtlantOS (April)

– Deployment of recovered buoys after refurbishment

• VOS ships– Site Acceptance Test (SAT) for EUCAWS (6 months)

– Development of a fully autonomous barometric station – Distribution of TurboWin v5.5 on conventional VOS

– Purchase of a first EUCAWS from series ?


E-SURFMAR – Plans 2015 (2)

• Data BUFR migration– Use of new template TM 315009 for all drifting buoy data

– Application of template TM 315008 to moored buoy data

– Application of template TM 308014 to VOS data if officially agreed

– End of use of previous templates

– End of use of TAC codes ?

• Other activities– Start of the exploitation of E-SURFMAR ship-to-shore dataformats #100 and #101

– Exploitation of E-SURFMAR study results to possibly adapt the present network design
