3 Climate Change Initiative Objective Realize the full potential of the long-term global EO archives that ESA, together with its Member states, has established over the last thirty years..... as a significant and timely contribution to the ECV databases required by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 6 Years / 75 Meuro

4 Adequate response to GCOS? CCI Scope Started in CCI

5 Adequate response to GCOS? CCI workflow for climate data quality CCI ECV Data Products data and models confrontation climate assessment uncertainty characterization independent product validation product generation round-robin data package algorithm selection algorithms evaluation user requirements product specification EO Archives (L1B)

6 Adequate response to GCOS? CCI Phase 1 products temporal extent

7 Timely response to GCOS? aerosol sea level ocean colour cloud ozone ghg fire glaciers sst land cover soil moisture sea ice ice sheets CCI Phase 1: Data Products Delivery Schedule

8 Full potential of European EO Missions contribution to climate records?

9 Full potential of European EO Missions contribution to climate records?

10 Independent scientific advice? Climate Science Advisory Body WCRP; GCOS; JCOMM; ECMWF Dedicated to CCI Convened annually ESA Earth Science Advisory Committee Regularly informed and consulted

11 Science advice factored-in? CCI integration mechanisms Collocation meetings CMUG / integration meetings Data Standards working group System Engineering Working Group Cross team participation to progress meets Inter project workshops Joint Scientific publications

12 Coordinated with international actions? => global cooperation framework cooperation CEOS - GCOS response CEOS WGClimate Climate Architecture ESA - EUMETSAT - EC Bi-laterals ( e.g. ESA NASA )

13 Coordinated with international actions on climate research? GHRSST TBD GEWEX IOCCG AEROCOM cloud SST sea ice ocean colour OSTWG IO 3 C MACC/GCP aerosol ozone GHGs glaciers soil moisture ice sheets fire sea-level cmug land cover GOFC/GOLD Climate Modeling Communit y CMIP5 GTN-G GOFC/GOLD Fire / GCP GEWEX IMBIE

14 Coordinated with other activities? => key related Projects

15 in-situ data? => Links to global & national monitoring networks

16 transparent? open web access to ALL CCI project docs

17 Adequate Response to GCOS? CCI data product improvements Long term records (multiple sensors) Uncertainty characterization Internal consistency of ECVs Consistency of different ECVs Extended temporal coverage (decadal) More complete geographic coverage Adapted to climate research & modeling needs Uniqueness (previously unavailable)

18 Scientific impact at required level of excellence? CCI results are published in High-impact peer-reviewed journals Nature Science Bulletin American Meteorological Society Geophysical Research Letters Journal of Geophysical Research Remote Sensing of Environment Major International Conferences EGU; AGU; WCRP; IGARSS; Cospar; ISPRS ESA; EUM; CEOS; GEO Conferences => inputs for IPCC AR5

19 CCI Phase 1 completion Most phase 1 projects will complete by end 2013 ( 3 in 2014 ) Activities to complete are ECV data sets production ECV Product Validation ECV Assessment by Climate Research Groups System Specifications

20 CCI Phase 2 context IPCC AR5 published 2014 new assessment cycle Global Framework for Climate Services GMES Climate Change Service Sentinels 1,2,3 => data continuity

21 CCI Phase 2 Outline Approach International coordination (GCOS-CEOS) Pursue work on 13 ECVs started in phase 1 Maintain interface to climate modelers (CMUG) Extend products temporally, geographically Improve quality to meet climate needs New data sets: Explorers / prepare for sentinels Ensure free open access to CCI data products Promote wide exploitation of CCI data sets Maximize scientific impact (publications) Evolve from prototype to sustainable systems
