JCOMMOPS
• Two Technical Coordinators at JCOMMOPS - Mathieu
Belbeoch (Argo) and Hester Viola (DBCP/SOT)
• Provide support to programme planning, implementation,
monitoring and operations, including:
– observational data requirements and data flow
– technologies, instrumentation and costs
– operational status of observing networks (maps, monitoring and
analysis)
– deployment opportunities (by ship and air).
– community information – eg News, Meeting information, Contact
information and mailing lists

Observational Networks - status
• Web Mapping interfaces, Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) and Google Earth can be used to
visualise where platforms are located.
• Web Map Services (WMS) are available to “plug in”
JCOMMOPS data to existing GIS tools.

Examples of queries about data
• View News items about International Programmes
• Observational Platform Query
– e.g. based on unique identifier (WMO Number), all platforms
owned by a programme/agency, within a geographical
area…
• View contact details for people or organisations
participating in International Programmes
• Search for meeting dates, reports or technical papers
prepared by JCOMM (can be sent in hard copy upon
request)
• View images of platforms, people or maps
• Link to related websites and other information
sources

Tools for monitoring data
• JCOMMOPS provides tools to report and analyse quality of data
over time and which the various data sets collected

JCOMMOPS is a support centre
NOT a data centre
• It provides information and metadata – not raw data
(available from providers, archives or on the GTS of
WMO)
• It acts as a gateway/portal to find information on how to
obtain data itself.

– Archived Buoy data and Ship based XBT data
• Canadian Marine Environmental Data Services
• USA NOAA/National Oceanographic Data Center
– Argo Float data
• Argo Information Centre http://www.argo.net
• US GODAE server
• French Coriolis Centre
– Community Information – News, meetings, Mailing lists

Data Availability
• Meteorological Centers also provide meteorological and
oceanographic data as well as quality monitoring
statistics for that data.
