23 Previous ET Meeting CAgM Expert Team Meeting on Database Management, Validation and Application of Models, and Research Methods at the Eco-Regional Level Gaborone, Botswana from 21 to 23 November Twelve participants attended the workshop 23

24 Previous ET TORs To make recommendations on the efficient ways and means of database management, including computer technology, standardized analytical techniques and integrated information management systems. To investigate and document appropriate operational requirements for the validation of selected models in agriculture, rangelands, forestry and fisheries and methodological developments to apply these models at a regional scale. To determine and specify the needs of agriculture, rangelands, forestry and fisheries in future agrometeorological information management systems. To assess and report on eco-regional research at the national and regional levels that may serve as models for broader application. 24

25 TOR 1 To make recommendations on the efficient ways and means of database management, including computer technology, standardized analytical techniques and integrated information management systems. 1) Observation Network 2) Data Entry 3) Use of a Database Management System (DBMS) 4) Importing data 5) Quality Control 6) Accessibility of Data 7) Data Analysis 25

26 TOR 1 Data Analysis The NMHS should develop a sustainable software strategy for data management and analysis. The software for analysis should include statistical software, geo-statistical software, agrometeorological software, and GIS and mapping software. The criteria for choosing software should include simplicity, robustness, cost and training needs. It must be noted that the training needs involve costs in addition to the cost of the software. The strategy should consider the software needed at individual stations and at provincial and national headquarters. The following table indicates software that might be applicable. Most of the software packages suggested for local stations are freely available. The headquarters would also include these packages, plus others that enable them to undertake more complex applications and also backstop the work being undertaken locally. 26

28 WMO Data Policies Resolution 25 and 40 WMO Information System (WIS) 28

29 Resolution 40 REMINDS Members of their obligations under Article 2 of the WMO Convention to facilitate worldwide cooperation in the establishment of observing networks and to promote the exchange of meteorological and related information; and of the need to ensure stable ongoing commitment of resources to meet this obligation in the common interest of all nations; ADOPTS the following policy on the international exchange of meteorological and related data and products: As a fundamental principle of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and in consonance with the expanding requirements for its scientific and technical expertise, WMO commits itself to broadening and enhancing the free and unrestricted international exchange of meteorological and related data and products; Free and unrestricted means non-discriminatory and without charge Without charge, in the context of this resolution, means at no more than the cost of reproduction and delivery, without charge for the data and products themselves. 29

30 Resolution 40 ADOPTS the following practice on the international exchange of meteorological and related data and products: (1) Members shall provide on a free and unrestricted basis essential data and products which are necessary for the provision of services in support of the protection of life and property and the well-being of all nations, particularly those basic data and products, as, at a minimum, described in Annex 1 to this resolution, required to describe and forecast accurately weather and climate, and support WMO Programmes; (2) Members should also provide the additional data and products which are required to sustain WMO Programmes at the global, regional, and national levels and, further, as agreed, to assist other Members in the provision of meteorological services in their countries. While increasing the volume of data and products available to all Members by providing these additional data and products, it is understood that WMO Members may be justified in placing conditions on their reexport for commercial purposes outside of the receiving country or group of countries forming a single economic group, for reasons such as national laws or costs of production; (3) Members should provide to the research and education communities, for their noncommercial activities, free and unrestricted access to all data and products exchanged under the auspices of WMO with the understanding that their commercial activities are subject to the same conditions identified in ADOPTS (2) above; 30

31 Annex 1 to Resolution 40 (Cg-XII) DATA AND PRODUCTS TO BE EXCHANGED WITHOUT CHARGE AND WITH NO CONDITIONS ON USE The purpose of this listing of meteorological and related data and products is to identify a minimum set of data and products which are essential to support WMO Programmes and which Members shall exchange without charge and with no conditions on use. The meteorological and related data and products which are essential to support WMO Programmes include, in general, the data from the RBSNs and as many data as possible that will assist in defining the state of the atmosphere at least on a scale of the order of 200 km in the horizontal and six to 12 hours in time. 31

32 Annex 1 to Resolution 40 (Cg-XII) CONTENTS 1. Six-hourly surface synoptic data from RBSNs, e.g. data in SYNOP, BUFR or other general purpose WMO Code; 2. All available in situ observations from the marine environment, e.g. data in SHIP, BUOY, BATHY, TESAC codes, etc.; 3. All available aircraft reports, e.g. data in AMDAR, AIREP codes, etc.; 4. All available data from upper air sounding networks, e.g. data in TEMP, PILOT, TEMP SHIP, PILOT SHIP codes, etc.; 5. All reports from the network of stations recommended by the regional associations as necessary to provide a good representation of climate, e.g. data in CLIMAT/CLIMAT TEMP and CLIMAT SHIP/CLIMAT TEMP SHIP codes, etc.; 6. Products distributed by WMCs and RSMCs to meet their WMO obligations; 7. Severe weather warnings and advisories for the protection of life and property targeted upon end-users; 8. Those data and products from operational meteorological satellites that are agreed between WMO and satellite operators. (These should include data and products necessary for operations regarding severe weather warnings and tropical cyclone warnings.) 32

36 Goals of WMO Information System (WIS) GTS needs to be open to all WMO activities to provide time critical information exchange Internet should be a part of WIS to allow support of less critical requirements The continuous improvement and adaptation of new technologies in the GTS should be maintained. The WIS should be open to more than just WMO programs allowing partners to participate Need seamless discovery, access and retrieval (DAR) across all WMO systems, including collaborators and partners. 36
