What is this CMEMS insitu tac thing?
and Forecasting System
and Forecasting System
Remember!
In Situ observations are key for other data producers (models, satellites, insitu...) to improve their own products trough validation, assimilation, inter-comparison....

Also! Frontend developer and training coach for CMEMS In Situ TAC since Sept 2016
Remember! The In Situ TAC is one out of 15 the CMEMS data producers...
There is a need to enhance visibility!
- Enhance visibility of the In Situ component in CMEMS developing:
- Tools: SOCIB + PdE + HCMR
- Skills: SOCIB + 1
- CMEMS regional workshops https://marine.copernicus.eu/training-workshop-ibi-2020/
- Other events: hackathons, summer schools...

What is the In Situ TAC doing?
and Forecasting System
The In Situ TAC is the only in situ observational component of the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service.
and Forecasting System
In other words: The In Situ TAC integrates thousand of local data from on-site sensors on board of a wide range of platforms in order to deliver products to the CMEMS catalog (16 so far)
and Forecasting System
How does it organize?
and Forecasting System
In Situ Production Units (PUs) are responsible for collecting and standarizing data on a defined geographical area.
- PUs Commitments:
- Collection:
- Contact at http://www.marineinsitu.eu/submit-data/
- Standarization:
- NetCDF Format Manual: https://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00488/59938/
- Parameter list: https://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00422/53381/
- Quality Control procedures: http://www.marineinsitu.eu/documentation/
- Quality control flags: QUID
- File naming convention (13/16 products): PUM
and Forecasting System
Which products does it produces?
and Forecasting System
In Situ observations are stored in netCDF files, grouped in collections/datasets and delivered all together as products:
| Product family |
Near Real Time (NRT) => Automate NRTQC |
Reprocessed (REP) => time consuming automatic QC tests and visual QC. |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | REGIONAL & GLOBAL | GLOBAL |
| Goal | speed++ | quality++ |
| FTP | ftp://nrt.cmems-du.eu/ | ftp://my.cmems-du.eu/ |
Important! CMEMS FTPs are secured. First register as CMEMS user to get the access granted.
