Objectives and Scope of the ICEMON Service
• Short-term Scope (1-2 years)– Demonstrate SAR ice monitoring in key
areas of Arctic Ocean ++, delivering high resolution products (<1 km)
– Significant improvement of quality– Scatterometer products : ice drift on
large scale– NRT products for operational users– Offline info for climate monitoring (+
for design criteria for maritime structures)

Objectives and Scope of the ICEMON Service (contd.)
• Intermediate Scope (3-5 years)– Sea ice products integrated with met. and
oceanogr. products (monitoring, hindcast and forecast)
– Expanded to include ice thickness from CryoSat– Products used in modelling and data
assimilation for improved forecasting services
• Concept can only be implemented as joint effort between key institutions and in synergy with projects in operational oceanography.

Objectives and Scope of the ICEMON Service (contd.)
• Long-term Scope (10 years)– Objective of ICEMON to deliver
operational monitoring and forecasting services of met-ice-ocean conditions at HL.
– Integrated service network implemented
– Several providers supply different products for different regions as part of a Global Service System.

Service network characteristics
• ICEMON will build a European monitoring and forecasting capacity by integration of existing operational services with new service providers– Access to several services in one system -
transparent for users– User-driven services and products– Multiple options for entries (e.g. ENVISAT &
Radarsat)– Coverage of entire Arctic + European ice covered
seas– Close cooperation with Canada, USA and Russia; and
with other GMES services for optimal outputs

What are we trying to do?• Why do users need our services?
– Ice + atmospheric-ocean parameters important for• Navigation / offshore operations / exploitation• Climate and environment monitoring
• How will they benefit from them?– Better understanding of key climate processes at HL– Better prevention and control of marine pollution
management + conservation of Arctic ecosystems and environment
– Safer sea transportation + offshore operations in Polar regions
– Improved design criteria for vessels + marine constructions in Polar regions

Open Service Partnership
• ICEMON service concept envisaged to be open met-ice-ocean service system where:– Several providers can deliver products– Users can obtain wide range of products via
single entry access point under agreed conditions– Services are both chargeable and free-of-charge– All service providers conform to agreed basic
functions and formats for metadata etc.– Client software independent of service providers– User requirements decide how integration of
sercice elements should be done: USER DRIVEN
