| Popis: | World Ocean Circulation User Consultation, 21-22 February 2019, Frascati, Italy In the context of the COSMO project (CTM2016-79474-R,MINECO/FEDER,UE) a series of activities are underway to assess the quality of the ocean currents derived by ocean forecast systems. Key elements for these assessment are a set of regular Lagrangian experiments performed by Spanish Salvamento Marítimo and the release of 18 surface drifters near Gibraltar Strait during MEDGIB-II Campaign on January, 2018. The surface drifters use various kinds of transmission technologies, different types and formats and come from different data sources. These different formats and data sources need to be unified and standarized. We have opted for the GeoJSON format. We have developped a system that downloads data from all the transmission data source providers, process and convert them to GeoJSON and KML format to be directly vieweb in Earth browsers. We have also developped an interactive GUI application (COSMO-VIEW) able to remotely access ocean current predictions provided by Puertos del Estado and SOCIB through OPenDAP protocol and to launch MOTU queries to the COPERNICUS service to download data from their operational prediction systems. The tool is able to superpose the latest images of satellite sea surface temperature and the hourly current from the various HF Radar stations provided by Puertos del Estado and SOCIB, as well as to superpose drifter trajectories. The COSMO-VIEW model can also be used as interface to launch the COSMO Lagrangian Models |
