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

船舶观测，特别是水柱测量，仍然是许多海洋学科学的支柱，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这种观察方案，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，各网络确定了其支持要求中的差距，在此，我们提出了一项计划，以在欧洲国际扶轮格局的背景下解决这些要求。根据OceanOBS提出的网络需求，提出的新服务和访问机会包括：•通过欧洲海洋设备池（EMEP）共享培训、最佳实践、访问能力和访问设备等设施•数据管理，确保数据系统和元数据适合实时和延迟模式质量控制数据•二次质量控制，以提高一致性并增加观测结果的不确定性估计。这些将通过与数据发起者、政府、资助者和最终用户的广泛协商来完善。此外，试点活动将向网络提供即时支助，并有助于完善需求说明。这些要求将与欧洲RI景观中现有的一系列服务进行比较，并在此基础上提出支持欧洲水文的新结构。可能的模型范围从在现有RI内完成服务交付和不建立新结构，到创建具有其他地方不可用的一组服务的RI。

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.
