1 WMO World Meteorological Organization Working together in weather, climate and water Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) --Challenges and Opportunities to the SPACE Community Wenjian ZHANG Director, Observing and Information Systems Department, WMO Director, WMO Space Programme
2 The Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) A New Partnership Process WMO Climate Space Week, Feb.2013, Geneva, Swiss
3 A historic event (31 Aug 4 Sept, 2009, Geneva)
4 Cg.-Ext Resolutions WMO OMM Resolution 1: Implementation Plan Resolution 2: Governance Structure Resolution 3: Budget ess_reports_en.html
5 Structure of Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) Space and surface Architecture 5
6 Major Challenges! Meet new observing requirements
7 The GFCS initial priority areas Provide challenges & opportunities for new partnership to address new observational requirements via user communities Agriculture Water Health Disaster Risk Reduction
8 Key challenges identified through consultations Accessibility: many countries do not have climate services at all, and all countries have scope to improve access to such services. Capacity: many countries lack the capacity to anticipate and manage climate related risks and opportunities. Data: the current availability and quality of climate observations and impacts data are inadequate for large parts of the globe. Partnership: interactions between climate service users and providers are not always well developed, and user requirements are not always adequately understood and addressed. Quality: operational climate services are lagging advances in climate and applications sciences, and the spatial and temporal resolution of information is often insufficient to match user requirements.
9 Gaps in current scientific and technical WMO OMM capabilities--observation and monitoring systems Records of climate data should be assembled in standardized formats, archived in accessible electronic formats. Records should be accompanied by metadata describing history of the observational instrumentation, calibration history, over its lifetime.. These metadata are complete as far as possible, free from major gaps, fit for purpose, homogeneous and readily accessible
10 Gaps in current scientific and technical WMO OMM capabilities--observation and monitoring systems Some observations (in the land, ocean and satellite domains) have not yet been moved to a more permanent operational environment or connected to the existing climate services information systems. Climate monitoring from space does not yet have an internationally-agreed architecture, although efforts to achieve this are underway. Satellite obs have limitations such as in rainfall estimation, The deep ocean is not satisfactorily observed as yet. Climate information needs to be integrated with social and economic data, for achieveing full benefits.
11 GFCS Observations & Monitoring Pillar Re-focus & strengthen systems to support GFCS operations: Addresses important gaps in climate observations, including addressing the weaknesses of the observation networks in the most vulnerable, risk-prone and remote areas, LDC & developing countries Addresses difficulties in transforming research-based observations into operations, promotes the integration of remotely-sensed and in situ observations Promotes the free and open exchange of climate-relevant observational data while respecting property rights and national and international policies.
12 A number of major drought events from WMO OMM
13 Exemplary Grand Challenges: Droughts Satellite monitoring of soil moisture can support agriculture/food security, DRR, Water and health WCRP Workshop on Drought Predictability and Prediction in a Changing Climate Barcelona, March 2011 Three Major Recommendations: 1. Drought Catalogue Summarizing key drivers of global drought events. 2. Case Studies Focusing on large-scale and regional issues in areas where drought is a key issue. 3. Develop Drought Early Warning System 14
14 The ESA SMOS Global Soil Moisture Map (20-23 June 2010) --This dataset is extremely important for improving rainfall forecasting, climate and agriculture P. Richaume, CESBIO
15 Absolute soil moisture (top) and soil moisture anomalies (bottom) for the period July to September 2012 derived from the Advanced WMO OMM Scatterometer (ASCAT) flown on board of the METOP satellites.
16 Great Opportunity!! Build new Partnership with UN family and their Members engage them on ECV applications and operation ---WMO, WHO, UNISDR, FAO, UN-Water
17 ECV Inventory Response so far (1/2) WMO OMM ECV inventory now contains 171 records submitted for 11 responsible organizations No records were submitted for the following ECVs: carbon dioxide, methane, and greenhouse gases; sea state; sea surface salinity; lakes; above ground biomass; ice sheets Some records are incomplete and we encourage organizations to continue submitting data so we may begin conducting analyses Some organizations have stated this is a partial submission list and require more time The 26 th CEOS Plenary Bengaluru, India October, 2012
18 Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Margaret Chan (L) and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Secretary-General, Michel Jarraud (R) --Pose with the Atlas of Health And Climate, during a press conference on the extraordinary session of World Meteorological Congress on October 29, 2012 in Geneva. --With droughts, floods and hurricanes like the one bearing down on New York affecting the health of millions of people each year, WMO and WHO health agencies presented an overview of how climate data can help protect public health.
19 Why should the health sector engage? Meteorological conditions affect some of the largest disease burdens: - Under nutrition kills 3.5 million/yr - Diarrhoea kills 2.2 million/yr - Malaria kills 900,000/yr - Hydrometeorological extremes kill 10s of thousands, and cause multiple other health effects WMO Climate Space Week
