Quality information document for reprocessed In Situ waves

The document describes the Quality of the Delayed Mode or REProcessed (REP) WAVES product delivered by the CMEMS In Situ Thematic Assembly Center (In Situ TAC or INSTAC). The following document applies to the following list of products described in CMEMS Catalogue: - Product name: Global Ocean - Delayed Mode Wave product - Product code: INSITU_GLO_WAVE_REP_OBSERVATIONS_013_045 - Delivery Time: twice a year since 2019 This product integrate observation aggregated and validated from the Regional EuroGOOS consortium (Arctic-ROOS, BOOS, NOOS, IBI-ROOS, MONGOOS) and Black Sea GOOS as well as from National Data Centers (NODCs), JCOMM global systems (Argo, GOSUD, OceanSITES, GTSPP, DBCP) and the Global telecommunication system (GTS) used by the Met Offices. Data are distributed on full level (no interpolation). They are available in a dedicated directory to waves (INSITU_GLO_WAV_REP_OBSERVATIONS_013_045) of CMEMS Dissemination System in one file per platform. This directory is updated twice a year since 2019. Four of the INSTAC regions (BAL, NWS, IBI and MED) are performing their own wave validation over the data contained in their respective files (“BO_”, “NO_”, “IR_” and “MO_”). These REP files are distributed also in the corresponding REP regional directories. The GLOBAL Production Unit gets these files together with the validated “GL_” files and distributes the final WAVES product in the dedicated directory mentioned above

Near Real Time Quality Control and validation of Sea Level in-situ data within MyOcean

This report describes the recommendations for near real time quality control (QC) and validation of sea level in situ observations within the MyOcean project, to be applied in V1. These will be based on the QC procedures and flagging system suggested by the Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS) in a report compiled in 2009 as an adaption of the ESEAS Data Quality Manual. The reason for this MyOcean recommendation to follow the GLOSS QC system is explained below together with the suggested QC procedures and flagging system

From Observation to Information and Users: The Copernicus Marine Service Perspective

The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and systematic reference information on the physical and biogeochemical ocean and sea-ice state for the global ocean and the European regional seas. CMEMS serves a wide range of users (more than 15,000 users are now registered to the service) and applications. Observations are a fundamental pillar of the CMEMS value-added chain that goes from observation to information and users. Observations are used by CMEMS Thematic Assembly Centres (TACs) to derive high-level data products and by CMEMS Monitoring and Forecasting Centres (MFCs) to validate and constrain their global and regional ocean analysis and forecasting systems. This paper presents an overview of CMEMS, its evolution, and how the value of in situ and satellite observations is increased through the generation of high-level products ready to be used by downstream applications and services. The complementary nature of satellite and in situ observations is highlighted. Long-term perspectives for the development of CMEMS are described and implications for the evolution of the in situ and satellite observing systems are outlined. Results from Observing System Evaluations (OSEs) and Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) illustrate the high dependencies of CMEMS systems on observations. Finally future CMEMS requirements for both satellite and in situ observations are detailed
