FerryBox Task Team update
EuroGOOS Extraordinary General Assembly Sept 2020
33 lines operational in 2020
www.ferrybox.org
Institutions involved:
HZG (Germany)
NIVA, IMR (Norway)
EuroGOOS (Belgium)
SYKE (Finland)
SMHI (Sweden)
TTU (Estonia)
HCMR (Greece)
IFREMER (France)
CEFAS (UK)
Deltares (Netherlands)
FB-TT Objectives • To act as the European component of the global community using ships of opportunity • Develop links with other TT, WG, ROOS, GOOS, JCOMM, ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System), and other complementary activities • Ensure the integration of FerryBox networks in the European ocean observing efforts and contribute to the development of EOOS • Operate and promote a common European FerryBox data portal • Ensure and enable data availability via the EuroGOOS ROOS data portals including data quality procedures and links to CMEMS and EMODnet
FB-TT Activities 2019-2020
• Chairs: Andrew King (NIVA), Yoana Voynova (HZG)
• Operation of FB-Website (www.ferrybox.org) with information about
FB-lines, publications, events etc. hosted by HZG
• 10th FB workshop planned for Nov 2020 in Gothenburg, hosted by
SMHI; postponed to March 2021 and will be held parallel with HF
Radar Task Team workshop
• Continuously improving and extending European FerryBox database
and data portal (ferrydata.hzg.de)
• increase the number of data suppliers
• export of netCDF files to CMEMS (e.g. ROOSs) (already
established for IMR, NIVA ..)
• improvement and harmonization of quality flagging to both
European FB database and EMODnet (discussed during FB
workshop in April)
• New projects: H2020: JERICO-S3/DS, EuroSea, NAUTILOS; and
various national/regional projects
Notes from Task Team members
• COVID-19 impacts: ~70% routes reported delays, shutdowns (~3-6 months), route changes, and/or
no access (SYKE lost 20 y timeseries when Helsinki-Stockholm route changed to Helsinki-Riga)
• New FerryBoxes:
• R/V Svea (research vessel, monthly cruises to Baltic and Skagerrak/Kattegat, SMHI) - S/T/O2/chl
a/turbidity/cDOM/phycocyanin/phycerythrin/water sampler/pH/pCO2/radiance+irradiance/imaging flow cytobot
• M/S Roald Amundsen (cruise ship, Arctic/Antarctic, NIVA) – S/T/O2/chl a/turbidity/cDOM/microplastics sampler
• M/S Magnolia Seaways (cargo ship, North Sea, HZG) – S/T/O2/chl a/turbidty/etc.
• Upgraded FerryBoxes:
• M/S Silja Europa (passenger ship, Tallinn-Helskink, MSI/TUT) – new FB system, S/T/O2/chl
a/turbidity/phycocyanin/water sampler/microlitter sampler
• M/S Norröna (passenger ship, Denmak-Faroe Islands-Iceland, NIVA/FAMRI) – new FB system, S/T/O2/chl
a/turbidity/cDOM/water sampler
• M/S Trollfjord (passenger ship, coastal Norway, NIVA) – upgraded FB system
• NIVA/IMR NorSOOP sensors and samplers – imaging flow cytobot, automated sample filtration, LabSTAF fluorometer
• Planned for late 2020 or 2021:
• M/S Connector (cargo ship, Norway-Netherlands-UK, NIVA/RWS(Deltares))
• Tesperhude Station (stationary, Elbe Estuary (Germany), HZG)
• FerryBox Task Team – ICOS cooperation:
• M/S Tavastland (cargo ship, Baltic Sea, SMHI/SYKE) has started ICOS labelling process for pCO2 measurements
• M/S Trollfjord (passenger ship, coastal Norway, NIVA) received funding to start ICOS pCO2 measurements in 2021
Notes from Task Team members (cont’d)
• New initiatives:
• HZG involved in German Alliance for Marine Research (Deutsche Allianz für Meeresforschung (DAM); www.allianz-
meeresforschung.de) development of a standardised measuring box for all German research vessels on the basis of a
FerryBox system
• HZG will be updating the European FerryBox database (http://ferrydata.hzg.de) with a more flexible interactive
graphical user interface based on Java scripts
• NIVA involved in several new FerryBox initiatives with cruise ships and research vessels that have been delayed due to
COVID-19, hopefully will be carried out in 2021
• All partners: several pending proposals with Horizon 2020 and national funding agencies
• Selected new publications:

measurements in the Skagerrak. L&O Methods.

Notes from Task Team members (cont’d)
• New activities/findings:
SMHI: Earlier than normal cyanobacteria bloom in
Baltic due to warm temperatures reported by SMHI
SMHI: Baltic Algae Watch System June 2020
