WMO
Two actions in the WIGOS Implementation Plan
Collaboration 2.1.2: Develop collaboration framework for the
Architecture for Climate Monitoring from Space
Design, planning and evolution 3.1.2: Develop the Architecture for Climate
Monitoring from Space, focusing on 4 GFCS priorities
2.1.2 Collaboration
Ad-hoc working team established in 2012
Strategy document published in Feb 2013
Joint CEOS-CGMS Working Group on Climate approved by CGMS (July 2013) and CEOS (Nov. 2013)
WMO as both CGMS Member and CEOS Associate is an active member of the Joint WG (W. Zhang, J. Lafeuille/S. Bojinski)
First meeting planned on 5-7 March 2014
CEOS: Committee on Earth Observation Satellites
CGMS: Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites
Strategy towards an Architecture
for Climate Monitoring from Space
CEOS, CGMS, WMO
The ToR of the joint CEOS-CGMS Climate WG include (in summary):
Maintain a view of available Climate Data Records from satellite obs Foster best use of available data to deliver further CDRs
• e.g. through calibration, reprocessing initiatives Optimize planning of future satellite missions and constellations
Expected outcomes: Definition/implementation of Climate Monitoring Architecture for space obs Review and assessment of CDR generation, compliance to GCOS… Advice to CEOS and CGMS on response to UNFCCC, IPCC, GFCS
2.1.2 Collaboration (continued)
Conceptual stage: Architecture Pillarswith logical representation of data flows and dependencies
Traceable to GCOS Guidelines and GCOS Climate Monitoring Principles
3.1.2 Design, planning and evolution
WMO contribution adresses both ends:
Space Segment analysis building on OSCAR/Space and related assessments
• Identify CGMS missions to support FCDRs and derived ECVs in a sustained manner (with ET/SAT)
• Encourage CGMS commitment on these missions
• Highlight gaps and prompt actions
Satellite data use scenarios in GFCS priority areas
• Identify user requirements for climate services and infer product requirements (with ET-SUP)
• Use case studies in GFCS literature (“Climate ExChange”)
• Highlight gaps and prompt actions
