Outline What is WIGOS & Why WIGOS WIGOS Framework & Implementation:
WIP WIGOS Key Areas Regional level National level
What is needed Planning the Project Conclusions
What is WIGOS?
An over-arching framework for the coordination and evolution of WMO observing systems and the contributions of WMO to co-sponsored observing systems;
A WMO priority & a key contribution to GFCS It is about doing more & better with what we have
now to enable more efficient and effective service delivery;
It is about changing the way we plan, operate and deliver observations to meet user needs.
Why WIGOS? Shortcomings of the current situation:
Obs. networks/systems not sustainable and stable, Design and planning not coordinated, Obs. standards not respected (lack of compliance), DBs not integrated (inconsistent, not compatible)
including those of metadata, Considerable deficiencies in QMS (maintenance, …), Lack of qualified staff;
Through coordinated data sharing and networks/systems development, Members will be better equipped to address existing deficiencies and to meet future challenges
WIGOS Framework
At its simplest, the WIGOS framework is about: Documenting and implementing standard and
recommended practices and procedures in making and sharing observations;
Collaboration & Cooperation & Coordination for efficiency and effectiveness; for a successful business …“Alone you can go faster, but together we can go further”;
Integration and interoperability in all senses, Timely delivering observations that meet user
needs in a way they can use them; Empowering NMHSs
WIGOS Implementation
The WIGOS framework shall be implemented to enable the integration, interoperability, optimized evolution and best-practice operation for WMO observing systems, and WMO’s contribution to co-sponsored systems.
WIGOS will use and exploit the WMO Information System (WIS) to allow continuous and reliable access to observational data and products, and associated metadata.

WIGOS Key areas
Implementation Steps - Regional Level
Identify major issues of the Region (& its Sub-regions): observational challenges, critical gaps and solutions against the identified services priorities of the Region/Sub-regions;
Indicate the best/appropriate working approach for the Region / Sub-region taking advantage of on-going/planned initiatives, activities, groupings, projects (synergy of them) to address requirements, needs, priorities & associated challenges, respecting specifics of each Subregion;
Propose potential solutions against the identified services priorities of the Region/Sub-regions;
Implementation Steps - Regional Level Develop R-WIP:
Identify implementation activities for WIGOS Key Activity Areas;
Align R-WIP with major regional / subregional & national activities and harmonized aid-funded on-going national/bilateral/subregional projects;
Align R-WIP-I with all WMO Priorities (GFCS-IP, CB/CD, DRR), and GCOS-IP, EGOS-IP;
Propose bilateral or multilateral Sub-regional projects, or inter-regional projects (e.g. between RA I & VI / RA I & II);
Align with existing funding and look for funding opportunities; Identify appropriate mechanism for implementation of
agreed tasks and projects. Identify Resources and potential Donors
What does WIGOS mean at a National level?
N-WIGOS must be aligned with national needs/priorities (strategic and operational): NMS Strategy & Plan drive N-WIP N-WIP has to take such a Strategy & Plan into
account and built on it N-WIP must be consistent with:
WIP and R-WIP (Key Activity Areas), GCOS-IP, EGOS-IP, GFCS-IP;
What does WIGOS mean at a National level?
Demonstrating national leadership in observations: Best practices, Plan & design; Sustainability, maintenance & operation; Integration and interoperability;
Compliance with WMO TR (WMO-No. 49) - standard and recommended practices and procedures;
Culture change and change management; Supported by collaboration at Regional/Sub-
regional level WIGOS benefits will only be delivered through
commitment at a national level
National leadership through WIGOS
WIGOS and WIS provide means & opportunities: To enhance national observing networks for benefit
of all users To enhance sharing and accessibility of
observations To reinforce central role of NMHS through
partnerships & a network of networks To strengthen national mandate and authority
Strong national coordination & cooperation will assist in building strong regional coordination & cooperation
What is needed
Cooperation & Collaboration & Partnership regional organizations / sub-regional groupings
overseeing the observing systems/networks, specifically cooperation among meteorological,
hydrological and marine/oceanographic institutions/services where they are separated at the national level.
Working together (C&C&P): crucial for building of a sustainable Regional/Subregional IOS to provide observations critical for meeting service delivery user requirements.
What is needed
Communications and Outreach to gain: Acceptance/understanding of the WIGOS
concept by all stakeholders; Support of Members’ PRs and national
governments (the stronger, the better): Commitment & engagement & support to
WIGOS & its implementation at a national level (ownership): fundamentally important;
Donation from funding agencies (e.g. World Bank, EU, subregional economic groupings);
Planning the Project
RRR Process
Planning the Project
Planning the Project
Quick wins:1. Gap analysis of current observing networks
2. Categorization of the gap analysis findings
3. Specification of activities to solve problems under 2 and implement them
4. …
Longer term: Regional - subregional (Design solutions to common
national problems): R-WIP: plan and do National: Plan and do (using shared solutions)
In conclusion…
WIGOS: will not fix all problems of current
national/regional observing systems/networks; will lay down the framework – to allow
Members to start addressing the current problems in a: systematic, coordinated, sustainable, efficient & effective way.
