The observation system will act as “hub” for the recording, compiling, evaluation, and storing  quality assured (certified) data and information on coastal conditions along the North coast of Egypt for decision makers, researchers, as well as practitioners and professionals  interested in the area of protection and development of Egyptian Mediterranean coastal zones.

Time duration & location:

It is anticipated that the programme to design  the observation system will be circa 6-9 months, starting in November 2014.

Specific tasks

The Consultant(s) or expert(s) will closely collaborate and work with ACCNDP project team as well as project partners to ensure that the entire National Coastal Observation system is designed in accordance with National and international design principles.

The Consultant will undertake the following tasks:

Assessment of international best practice on  existing observation systems or network design which are applicable and potentially replicable to the coastal area situation in Northern Egypt and from this, develop an inventory of all existing observation mechanisms or systems (in operation withinr the North Coast of Egypt) that belong to governmental or non-governmental organizations including metadata of available historical data;Undertake an Inception Workshop to present the assessment outputs of the above task;Determine the possibility of integrating the existing observation mechanisms or systems into the design of the National Coastal Observation system;Provide a full design of a coastal observation system in the study area including the framework for the monitoring tasks taking into account integration of the existing systems (where possible) and in accordance with the National design principles and Global standards;Determine the required hardware and software “infrastructure” requirements to implement the observation system;Support and assist ACCNDP and ClimaSouth projects to develop metadata forms and data audit standard procedures for data collection, analysis and reporting;train selected MWRI  staff on data processing and data analysis including identification of trends;Undertake a final project workshop to present the design of the National observation system;Collaborate with MWRI staff and implementing partners on qualitative monitoring to provide relevant information for ongoing evaluation of climate change, effects and impacts;Ensure the collection of the comments and recommendations from the project workshops and stakeholders and analyze them for effective use in improving the system design.

This should include (but not be limited) to the following aspects:

Oceanographic parameters monitoring equipment specifications, numbers,  locations, installation site conditions, priority of installation, recommended suppliers list, estimated costs for each equipment;Hardware and software for coastal information system including equipment specifications, number of terminals, communication systems specifications, procedures and protocols, data accessibility and use protocols, etc.;Inventory of existing systems and catalogue of metadata;Inventory of oceanographic parameters to be monitored and frequency of data recording for each parameter;Quality control guidelines for data collection;Recommended links to international oceanographic data centers and networks and models of protocols for data exchange.

Undertake a 1 week training program on:

The developed observation system showing its various components;Data processing and analysis and identification of trends.

A power point presentation for the final report
