JCOMM 2 and Ocean Product JCOMM 2 and Ocean Product DevelopmentDevelopment

Substantive discussions at JCOMM 2, Halifax, September 2005

Ocean products and services recognized as a priority activity for JCOMM for the next 4 years

Recommendations/decisions of JCOMM 2 based largely on the results and recommendations from OceanOPS 04 and GODAE 2

Activities to be undertaken within the Services PA, reporting to the Management Committee Craig Donlon Services PA Coordinator

Main recommendations of Main recommendations of JCOMM 2 (1)JCOMM 2 (1)

Actions to develop operational ocean products and services under JCOMM

Development of a User Requirement Document Consultant or seconded expert to compile existing

information Based on OceanOPS04, GODAE, GCOS92, etc

Preparation and maintenance of a catalogue of existing products

Expert group to prepare specifications, including procedures for updating

National agency to design and maintain catalogue Secretariat survey to populate Basic information for future JCOMM Products Bulletin

Guidelines for ocean product presentation, symbology and nomenclature

Relatively complex task Task Team to be established by SCG, with GODAE input

and membership First draft to MAN in 2007

Main recommendations of Main recommendations of JCOMM 2 (2)JCOMM 2 (2)

Actions to develop operational ocean products and services under JCOMM (2)

Development of standardized data and metadata formats Eventual joint JCOMM (DMCG)-IODE-GODAE Task Team First step a review of existing activities and work, by

DMCG and IODE, to report to MAN end 2006

Integration of new technological developments in data and product management

In the work plan of DMCG Collaboration with GODAE Draft implementation plan by 2007

Support for developing countries Possible pilot projects and designated ocean product

centres Proposals to be developed by SCG and CB rapporteurs

Main recommendations of Main recommendations of JCOMM 2 (3)JCOMM 2 (3)

Actions to develop operational ocean products and services under JCOMM (3)

The Business Case for operational oceanography A national activity which will benefit from broader

international input A related study being undertaken by IOC, to be reviewed

by JCOMM before further action Eventually a joint activity of JCOMM and IGOOS

Interactions with Coastal GOOS Joint JCOMM/GSSC/GRA Task Team established to review

and recommend actions Implementation of COOP IP as well as coastal modelling

How to take this forward? Potential for coordination exists already Possible small initial TT to prepare a plan to address these

and other possible actions? Web portal for JCOMM products and services – successor

to JCOMM Products Bulletin
