Title: WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) 4th WCRP Observations and Assimilation Panel (WOAP) Meeting


1
WMO Integrated Global Observing System
(WIGOS)4th WCRP Observations and Assimilation
Panel (WOAP) Meeting
  • Barbara J. Ryan
  • Director, WMO Space Programme

29 March 2010 Hamburg
2
Overview
  • Recognition of the Need
  • Congressional Guidance
  • Principal Documents
  • WIGOS Projects

3
Recognition of the Need
  • Different and diverse WMO observing systems to
    meet weather, water and climate requirements
  • Wanted a more holistic approach
  • Better leverage limited resources

4
WMO Congress and Executive Council
  • Towards enhanced integration among the WMO
    observing systems GOS, GAW, WHyCOS
  • Intended to be a comprehensive, coordinated
    system for observing systems based on the
    requirements of all WMO Programmes
  • Monitor development and implementation of WIGOS
    (and WIS) through a RRR process

5
A Diverse System
6
Space-based Component of WMOs Global Observing
System (GOS)
7
Rolling Review of Requirements
  • Database of user requirements per application
    area
  • Database of observing capabilities (space
    surface)
  • Critical Review of how requirements are satisfied
    by current/planned capabilities for each
    application area

8
User Requirements
WMO Co-Sponsored Programmes
Partner Programmes
GCOS WCRP JCOMM
GOOS IOC ICSU IOCG GTOS
AOPC
ClimRes
Marine
OOPC
TOPC
IGBP UNOOSA UNEP FAO
  • 25 Programmes
  • 120 geophysical parameters
  • Atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial domains
  • 632 requirements recorded (parameter x domain x
    application)
  • Each requirement 5 criteria x 3 values (ideal/
    goal/ threshold) and 3 attributes (confidence,
    date, authority)
  • 11376 fields recorded

9
WIGOS Framework
  • To facilitate standardization and
    interoperability
  • To ensure
  • availability of, and real and near-realtime
    access to good quality data/products and
    associated metadata
  • data quality standards are documented, met and
    sustained

10
Standardization 3 Key Areas
  • Measurements and observations --
  • homogeneity, interoperability, compatibility of
    all observations
  • Data exchange, discovery, access and retrieval
    (DAR) --
  • standardized set of data representation and
    exchange requirements for all WMO Programmes
    DAR services
  • End-product quality management -- QMS

WIGOS Pilot Projects
  • Designed to
  • Test WIGOS concepts
  • Identify problem areas
  • Help in elaborating Implementation Plan

13
WIGOS Pilot Projects
  • I Improvement of Dissemination of Ozone and
    Aerosol observations through WIS (IDOA)
  • II Hydrological Applications Runoff Network
    (HARON)
  • III Integration of AMDAR into WIGOS
  • IV Elaboration of the underpinning/crosscutting
    role and responsibilities of the Instruments and
    Methods of Observation Programme
  • V Integration of Marine Meteorological and other
    appropriate Oceanographic Observations into WIGOS

14
Demonstration Projects at NMHSs
  • Test how to implement WIGOS with WIS components
    running at the required levels of performance
  • Feedback and lessons learned for WIGOS/WIS
    concept implementation
  • Include national observing networks that provide
    data and information for basic operations of NMHSs

15
WIGOS Demonstration Projects
  • RA I Kenya, Morocco and Namibia
  • RA II Republic of Korea
  • RA III Brazil
  • RA IV USA
  • RA V Australia
  • RA VI the Russian Federation
