Euro GO-SHIP: developing a Research Infrastructure concept to support European hydrography

船舶观测，特别是水柱测量，仍然是许多海洋科学的支柱，包括渔业，区域海洋学和全球气候科学。欧洲每个沿海国家都有一个此类观测方案，为支持《海洋战略框架指令》的评价提供数据，这些方案被组织成区域集群，并作为对更广泛的国际网络的贡献。2019年，作为OceanOBS会议的一部分，网络确定了其支持需求的差距，在此我们提出了一项计划，以在欧洲国际扶轮的背景下解决这些需求。根据OceanOBS提出的网络需求，拟议的新服务和接入机会是：·共享设施，如培训、最佳实践，通过欧洲海洋设备池（EMEP）获得能力和设备·数据管理，以确保适合实时和延迟模式质量控制数据的目的数据系统和元数据·二次质量控制，以提高一致性，并增加观测的不确定性估计。这些将通过与数据来源、政府、资助者和最终用户的广泛协商加以完善。此外，试点活动将为网络提供直接支持，并帮助完善需求说明。这些要求将与欧洲国际水道测量景观中已经提供的一套服务进行比较，并在此基础上提出一个支持欧洲水文学的新结构。可能的模式包括在现有的区域一体化机构内提供全部服务和不建立新的结构，以及建立一个区域一体化机构，提供其他地方无法提供的一系列服务。

Observations from ships, and in particular water column measurements, remain the backbone of much Oceanographic Science, including fisheries, regional oceanography, and global climate science. Every coastal country in Europe has a programme of such observations that feeds data into evaluations in support of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive with these programmes being organised into both regional clusters and serving as contributions to wider international networks. In 2019, as part of the OceanOBS conference, networks identified gaps in their requirements for support and here we propose a programme to address these requirements within the context of the European RI landscape. The proposed new services and access opportunities based on the network needs presented at OceanOBS are: • shared facilities such as training, best practices, access to capability and access to equipment through a European Marine Equipment Pool (EMEP) • data curation to ensure fit for purpose data systems and metadata for both real-time and delayed mode quality-controlled data • secondary quality control to increase consistency and add uncertainty estimates to observations. These will be refined by broad consultation with data originators, governments, funders and end-users. In addition, pilot activities will both provide immediate support to the networks and help to refine a statement of requirements. These requirements will be compared to the set of services already available within the European RI Landscape and on the basis of this a new structure for supporting European Hydrography proposed. Possible models range from complete service delivery within existing RIs and the establishment of no new structures through to the creation of an RI with a set of services unavailable elsewhere.
