Both of these advances already have injected a lot of new activity and progress into OceanSITES. 1) performance measured against requirements OceanSITES has no established requirements to measure performance against, other than a goal of achieving a certain number of sustained global sites. Even though a global map looks reasonably impressive, it turns out that most sites are so dissimilar that the network has little value as such, since information/variables/processes cannot be compared, and no standard measurements exist. This lead to the new concept of a core/backbone set of sites that have a minimal set of common observations, serving all disciplines and many potential users with some basic information. This is the new short-term objective of OceanSITES. 2) delivery of raw data (data collection and exchange) The second version of the data format has been established and approved last fall. The two GDACs are up and running and synchronize their data holding each day. A metadata questionnaire has been developed and mailed to the initial data providers (all sites represented in the OceanSITES Steering Committee). Filled forms are just coming back and some data are starting to flow. 3) measurement standards and quality control issues QC levels and procedures are being established, as well as best practices. Two working groups have been formed for physical/met data and for biogeochemical data. 4) logistics and resources Initial funding has been made available by NOAA for the second GDAC and partial support for the project office. Additional support will be needed from other countries and JCOMM/DBCP contributing countries are now being contacted to request small increases to their contributions for OceanSITES. In addition NOAA is willing to help out with manpower, e.g. Derrick Snowden can provide help for JCOMMOPS. More support and manpower is needed to make products and indicators happen ! 5) costs of the system and benefits (how information is used and identifying data users) We have not estimated costs, funding comes from each countrys agencies. But a rule of thumb for the operational costs (after initial hardware and equipment purchases) seems to be 300-400k$ per site, plus shiptime. OceanSITES has identified a number of products and indicators that can be generated for users in various communities, but that needs more manpower and support. 6) capacity-building requirements A new idea is to develop a blue-print for a standard OceanSITES mooring that could be used/duplicated in many countries 7) potential new technology: instrumentation, communications, platforms This will be discussed during the meeting 8) ideas for the way forward This too. =>DG|}78 : r #3~޲ĂyggggggggV hhCJOJQJ^JaJ#hh6CJOJQJ^JaJhhCJhh6CJOJQJhh5CJOJQJaJ"hh5;CJOJQJaJ"hh5>*CJOJQJaJhhCJOJQJhhCJOJQJ hhhh5CJOJQJhhCJOJQJ!#$=>?vnn$$ &@#$/Ifa$gdRkd$$Ifx40[(b 6@ 5)4 xaf4$$ &@#$/Ifa$gdd$ &@#$/Ifgd "#EFGXefqrs|:$ &@#$/Ifgdd$ &@#$/Ifgd$$ &@#$/Ifa$gd$ &@#$/Ifgd |}~9}}u & F gd$a$gdgdukd$$Ifx\[v;( 6@ 5)4 xa 1 2 Z 9 : ; r #tv gdgd & F gd3456~gd^gd gdhhCJOJQJ&1h:p{.
