2 GFCS Pillar Observations & Monitoring WMO Information System WIS WMO Global Observing System INDARE/Pacific-Australian Perspective

3 GFCS M & O Pillar - context The effectiveness of national climate services requires an adequate global system, especially for observations and monitoring This pillar of the GFCS helps to ensure climate observations meet user needs, and are managed, disseminated and supported by appropriate metadata Starts with high quality station data and climate data management systems, including capacity to develop, manage and maintain critical infrastructure and human capacity In scope for O & M: In situ land, oceans & atmospheric data plus AWS and satellite data Historical and real-time across climate system and multiple time-scales Foundational data for monitoring and understanding climate variability, extremes and change Includes emphasis on: data rescue, digitisation and QAQC derived/value added data Availability and accessibility (n.b. data sharing and security imperatives) Integration and interoperability of remote and in situ data across multiple variables (n.b. limitations and spatial and temporal scaling and other forms of heterogeneity)

4 GFCS M & O Pillar Gaps & needs Rescue and digitisation of national climate records Standardised formats and QAQC (homogenisation of data????) Climate Data Management Systems Standardised platform, Fit-for-purpose, open-source Functionality, utility and reliability Development, trouble shooting/help-desk Availability and accessibility Data sharing and security Metadata standards and cataloguing Maintaining and developing observational networks Infrastructure and human capacity development Integration and interoperability of multiple data sets Value-adding and derived data sets Enhanced visualisation and multiple delivery platforms Research and development gridded data sets, re-analysis historical and current climate trends Application ready data future climate projects/scenarios Guidance materials and end-user outreach

5 GFCS M & O Pillar INDARE Aim for highest QAQC on what is measured, with emphasis on WMO essential climate variables Apply and maintain appropriate national/international ( gold ) standards Plan for long-term sustainability to avoid funding cliffs, and for progressing end-toend, climate services value chain Seek to develop open-access platforms to facilitate data sharing, while managing appropriate standards on security for access national climate records Support the role of Regional Climate Centres to facilitate consistent approach to capacity development and applications Data rescue and digitisation, CDMS and associated capacity development within NMSs are the foundation stones Discoverability and accessibility via user-friendly platforms: Need for functional, versatile, reliable and secure (inter-facing) data portal(s) with enhanced visualisation and guidance materials Inter-operable (spatially and temporally scaled, within agreed confidence levels), multi-variable data and information-based knowledge products are the key to realising national/sub-national path to impact with sectors and communities

9 Dissemination of warnings There are many technologies involved These include fixed and mobile technology; land and space based. Authoritative Warning Service Provider GTS (including satellite broadcast, etc) FAX SMS ( , FTP, etc) Authoritative Warning Recipient 9

10 Dissemination of warnings in WIS WIS incorporates all dissemination types. Opens the way for using our common infrastructure for all hazards warnings Partnerships Authoritative Warning Service Provider GTS (including satellite broadcast, etc) FAX SMS ( , FTP, etc) Authoritative Warning Recipient 10

11 Internationally coordinated network of WMO WIGOS GDPFS WIS / GTS Partnerships WMO Programmes

12 Conclusion WIS is an enabler for all hazards systems Regional WIS Implementation Plans are there to ensure all Members implement and benefit from WIS PRs can authorize contributing partners to join WIS as NCs Make implementing WIS a core part of any national or regional strategy for establishing other services, including the All Hazards systems Remember, at a national level, WIS is largely a matter of staff competencies and effort. Make WIS implementation a high priority for all NCs Utilize GISC infrastructure, support and training 12

14 National WIGOS implementation Regional WIGOS Centres Information Resource (WIR) Data quality monitoring system Regulatory & Guidance Material The WIGOS Pre-operational Phase WMO priorities DRR GFCS Cryosphere Aviation WIGOS Pre-operational Phase WIGOS framework

15 Plan for WIGOS Pre-operational Phase (PWPP) Objective of the WIGOS Pre-operational Phase o To build on and strengthen the WIGOS framework to deliver a fully operational WIGOS in 2020; o To place increased emphasis on regional and national activities. Five priority areas: 1. National WIGOS implementation 2. Regional WIGOS Centers 3. WIGOS Information Resource, with a focus on WMDS & OSCAR 4. WIGOS Data Quality Monitoring System 5. WIGOS Regulatory and Guidance Material ICG-WIGOS-5 has prepared a draft PWPP for EC-68

16 The WIGOS Metadata Standard (WMDS) and OSCAR The WIGOS Metadata Standard (WMDS) is a semantic standard that specifies the metadata elements to be recorded and exchanged for all WIGOS stations/platforms. The WMDS refers to observational metadata, which describes the way the observations are taken, allowing to interpret their results. OSCAR (Observing Systems Capability Analysis and Review tool) is the practical implementation of the WMDS and OSCAR/Surface is a new platform intended for all metadata regarding surface observing stations: - IT WILL BECOME OPERATIONL ON 2 ND MAY 2016 To help Members implement the WMDS (which comes into force by July 2016, according to the Manual on WIGOS approved by Cg-17) the WIGOS Project Office is planning to deliver training on OSCAR/Surface at observations related training events/workshops being organized by RTCs at the various Regions/Sub-Regions - depending on resources available.

17 WIGOS Projects There are no specific WIGOS projects for the SIDS in the Indian Ocean In RA II (which includes the Maldives) there are some WIGOS projects: No. Project title Key regional players I Monitor and review the Implementation of EGOS- IP in RA II China; Hong Kong, China II Standard and best practise Portal, including technical documents with necessary Republic of Korea details in English from all RA II Members III.1 Observing systems integration for supporting disaster risk reduction - Integration of China, Japan, Republic of Korea Surface-based Remote Sensing Data in the East Asia III.2 Observing systems integration for supporting disaster risk reduction - Capacity ASEAN (Thailand, Malaysia) Building in Radar Techniques in the Southeast Asia IV Enhance the Availability and Quality Management Support for NMHSs in Surface, Japan Climate and Upper-air Observations V Developing a Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System China, Japan, Republic of Korea (SDS-WAS) in Asia Node VI Develop Support for NMHSs in Satellite Data, Products and Training Japan, Republic of Korea Also relevant for the SIDS in the Indian Ocean are the projects proposed by the Joint RA II/RA V WIGOS Workshop on DRR (Oct.2015), described by the Jakarta declaration, in particular the Satellite Data Project aimed at: (i) strengthening the capabilities of all Members to use geostationary satellite images and derived products in support of DRR; (ii) developing a protocol for the NMHSs in the project countries to request eventdriven rapid-scan imagery for their respective national areas of interest. 17

18 The Jakarta Declaration 14 October 2015 The WIGOS Workshop adopted the Jakarta Declaration: proposes to develop 2 WIGOS projects across regions II and V; a Satellite Data Project and a Radar Data Project to establish a joint coordination group for each project; the Management Groups of RA II and RA V are requested to review, approve and support these projects. Recommended: the WMO SG to support the projects with technical assistance within available resources; satellite operators provide the necessary support via CGMS. Encouraged: satellite operators of the Rep. of Korea, China and Japan to make digital data at the full resolution available to all Members involved in the Satellite data project and to support it in any way they can; all participating Members to freely share their radar data products with other project Members, according to the project plan 18
