Description
A revolutionary step towards the consolidation and visualization of ocean observation metrics, the prototype for a European OceanOPS service is anticipated to greatly amplify the ease of understanding regional and national commitments in this domain. By leveraging a comprehensive dashboard, stakeholders from various sectors can readily access, interpret, and act on crucial data. This prototype, setting a novel benchmark, aims to make ocean observation metrics more accessible, interpretable, and actionable.
Impact During the Project
Dashboard used by targeted users to understand details.
The prototype of a European OceanOPS service represents a tangible tool in the form of a dashboard. This dashboard aims to allow targeted users to gauge regional/national adequacy and commitment pertaining to ocean observation and related operations.
Measure during the project:
User Profile and Engagement: By analysing the profile and use of dashboard users, the prototype offers insights into which stakeholders are most engaged with the platform and how they utilize the available data and tools.
Feedback Collection: Obtaining final feedback from the working group helps in refining the prototype, ensuring it aligns well with the needs and preferences of the users and stakeholders involved Regional/national adequacy/commitment Metrics: Identify profile and use of dashboard users.
Final feedback from the working group.
Impact Post Project
The success of the prototype is evident in its practical application at the regional level. Regional dashboards derived from the prototype become critical tools in influencing decision-making processes related to regional observing systems.
Measure post project:
Funding and Expansion: The success of the prototype is gauged by its potential to receive funding for a European-wide dashboard or a comprehensive European OceanOPS service. Such funding would be a testament to the platform’s value and the recognition of its potential to impact ocean observation operations on a broader scale.
Advancement over and above State of the Art
User-Centric Design: Traditional ocean observation tools may not have been as user-centric. The OceanOPS dashboard’s emphasis on understanding user-profiles and gathering feedback represents a more targeted and user-oriented approach, ensuring the tool remains relevant to its audience.
Regional Customization: The development of regional dashboards signifies an advancement in offering customized tools that address unique regional needs, challenges, and dynamics. This is in contrast to a one-size-fits-all approach, providing regions with tailored insights and data.
Supporting Decision-Making: While traditional tools might offer data and observations, the European OceanOPS dashboard goes a step further. It aims to influence decision-making by providing comprehensive insights that highlight adequacy and commitment at regional and national levels.
Potential for Scalability: The prototype’s success and the consideration of funding for its expansion across Europe indicate its scalability and adaptability, allowing for broader application and greater impact.
In summary, the prototype for a European OceanOPS service showcases an advancement in ocean observation tools by being user-centric, regionally adaptable, decision-oriented, and scalable. This forward-looking approach holds the promise of significantly enhancing ocean observation operations across Europe.
