1 Progress Report on the RA II WIGOS Project to Develop Support for NMHSs in Satellite Data, Products and Training Co-coordinators, JMA and KMA 4th Session of the Inter-Programme Expert Team on Satellite Utilization and Products (IPET-SUP-4) 1st day, 26 February

2 Background of the Project Pilot Project to Develop Support for NMHSs in Satellite Data, Products and Training (Adopted at RA II-14, 2008) RA II WIGOS Project to Develop Support for NMHSs in Satellite Data, Products and Training from 2013 (Decided at RA II-15, 2012) RA II Regional WIGOS Implementation Plan , including new structure and work plans of this Project, was decided at the 16 th session of the RA II in Feb

3 Mechanism of the Project 3

4 Coordinating Group 4

5 Work Plans (1/2) To facilitate the timely provision of satellite-related information by satellite operator to NMHSs in RA II including developing countries via the project web page, newsletters, user s conference, etc., aligning with VLab activities to optimize assistance to NMHSs in RA II and coordinating training activities on use of satellite data/products; To identify requirements and current and planned utilization capabilities of NMHSs in RA II regarding data and products of Earth observation satellites including new generation geostationary meteorological satellites in support of their weather services, including forecasts and warnings, providing a gap analysis in which the capabilities are matched against the requirements so as to develop an action plan to close the gap; 5

6 Work Plans (2/2) To strengthen capabilities of NMHSs in RA II to use the routine images and derived products from the Earth observation satellites including new generation geostationary meteorological satellites, Himawari-8/9, FY-4 series and GEO- KOMPSAT-2 satellites, by user training and guidance on upgrading processing software/hardware, information and tools; (i) To develop a protocol for NMHSs of the countries in the Region to request event-driven rapid scan imagery; and (ii) to assist NMHSs to utilize rapid scan data in support of DRR in response to their requests; To continue the issuance of the quarterly newsletters. 6

7 5 th Meeting of the Coordinating Group Held in Vladivostok, Russia, on 21 October 2017 In conjunction with AOMSUC-8 (18-20 October) Attended by 31 participants Coordinating Group members (China, India, Japan, Korea and Russia) RA II Members (Bahrain, Hong Kong, Kyrgyz, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Thailand and UAE) RA V TT-SU members (Australia and Indonesia) WMO Secretariat Chair of the AOMSUC International Conference Steering Committee (as an observer) 7

9 Summary of the Meeting Action Roshydromet will provide the summary of the survey on WMO RA II / RA V Training Event for the final report of this meeting. (Roshydromet) Co-coordinators of RAII WIGOS project and the Chair of the RA-V Task Team on Satellite Utilization will provide the WMO and host country of AOMSUC-9 and training event with the requirement from trainees which can be reflected in the next conference (WMO, JMA, KMA and BoM) JMA and BoM will complete development of the protocol for Himawari-8/9 request-driven rapid scan and implement the protocol from beginning of 2018 (JMA, BoM) The Co-coordinators of the existing RA II WIGOS Project to Develop Support for NMHSs in Satellite Data, Products and Training, and the Chair of the RA-V Task Team on Satellite Utilization will attend at the respective meeting on a reciprocal basis, and collaborate one another for developing the possible integration of two Projects in future. (JMA, KMA and BoM) Co-coordinators of RAII WIGOS project will develop and conduct the regional user survey in 2018 in coordination with the chair of the RA-V Task Team on Satellite Utilization (JMA, KMA and BoM) Key activities in

10 Follow-up Efforts Roshydromet summarized a user survey on the training event conducted at AOMSUC-8, and the result was incorporated in the final report of the Coordinating Group meeting. JMA launched HimawariRequest in collaboration with BoM in Jan. 2018, allowing NMHS users in Himawari8/9 coverage area to request Target Area observation. JMA, KMA and BoM jointly undertook to develop a RA II/V satellite user survey. It is expected that an inventory of available data/products of CMA, JMA and KMA will be compiled in accordance with CBS-15/Doc. 4.2(1) and the inventory will be incorporated in the survey. 10
