2 JOINT EUROPEAN RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK FOR COASTAL OBSERVATORIES an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3) under FP7 Capacities Research Infrastructures Project acronym: JERICO Grant agreement no: Funding scheme (FP7): EU financial contribution: EU project officer: Duration: Integrating Activities (IA) 6.5 million Agnès Robin 48 months Start date: 1 May 2011 Completion date: 30 April 2015 Coordinator: Project webpage: Patrick Farcy, patrick.farcy@ifremer.fr Partners: III Convegno GNOO -Torregrande, Oristano, Italy, June 3th - 5th, 2013

3 Objective & Strategy Prepare for the future European Network of Operational Coastal Observatories (OCO) through: Better pan-european Coordination Increasing harmonisation of existing infrastructures Promoting exchange of know-how and definition of Best Practices Promoting European OCO through open access Agree deployment strategy Starting from observation systems existing around Europe in coastal and shelf seas. Moving towards new and strategic technologies for the next generation of OCO with focus on emerging technologies and the biochemical compartment. III Convegno GNOO -Torregrande, Oristano, Italy, TITLE June - JERICO 3th - 5th,

4 The JERICO infrastructures (in situ automatic RT/NRT measuring systems) Fixed platforms SoOp: Ferrybox Fishing vessels Gliders JERICO priority parameters: Temp. & Sal., dissolved O 2, pco 2, ph, Turbidity, Chll-a complimentary parameters: nutrients, plankton species identification and sea level

5 Activities I. Networking Activities (NA) To promote coordination providing Best practices for platforms and sensors management to pledge data quality, including calibration and bio-fouling, and to share and promote them inside the European community, through workshops, Oceanboard website and summer schools. II. Trans-national Access (TNA)/Service Access (SA) To promote the cost-effective use of the facilities by providing access to external users for their own experiments and testing (TNA) and access to data and services (SA). III. Joint Research Activities (JRA) To stimulate the development of new automated systems for the operational monitoring of the coastal marine environment, with the focus on the biochemical compartment. To Assess the impact of coastal observing systems in order to provide the information on how to optimize investments and extract the most of the data from them (OSE & OSSE).

20 Summary JERICO is the European effort to coalesce the fragmented coastal observatory community into a broad and inter-linked network. It is creating a solid and transparent organization towards an operational service for the timely, continuous and sustainable delivery of high quality environmental data and information products related to the marine environment in European coastal and shelf seas. It is defining the roadmap for future implementation and deployment of OCOs in Europe. It offers a platform for scientific and technological research supporting transnational access to networked facilities. More information on the project website: Thank you!
