1 WMO s Role in the development of an Architecture for Climate Monitoring from Space Dr. Wenjian Zhang D/OBS, WMO 5th AOMSUC, Shanghai
2 WMO OMM World Climate Conference-3: A historic event to define Global Framework for Climate Services-GFCS (31 Aug 4 Sept, 2009, Geneva)
3 WMO OMM Sixteenth WMO Congress Resolution 19 (Cg-XVI, 2011) DEVELOPMENT OF AN ARCHITECTURE FOR CLIMATE MONITORING FROM SPACE: Promotion role of WMO Considering: The underpinning role that observations will play in the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS), Decides that an architecture for climate monitoring from space should be developed, to provide a framework for the sustained & coordinated monitoring of the Earth s climate from space; Invites CEOS, CGMS, GCOS, GEO & WCRP to collaborate with the WMO Space Programme on the development
4 WMO OMM A report: Strategy Towards an Architecture for Climate Monitoring from Space CEOS-CGMS-WMO ad hoc group on Architecture for Climate Monitoring from Space, Chair: Mark Dowell The strategy presents a proposed logical architecture lead to the development of a physical architecture. Outline of the report Executive Summary and recommendations Introduction, Objectives & Targets Climate Monitoring Principles, Requirements & Guidelines State of the Art Beyond research to operations Climate Architecture definition Mechanisms for Interaction Roadmap for way forward Recommendations
5 WMO OMM WMO Role: Document broader requirements Services Requirements: The Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) Implementation Plan (WMO extraordinary Session, October 2012) adds another dimension to the requirements directly link to the user s application areas: agriculture and food security, water resources, health and disaster risk reduction Assessment Requirements: The IPCC s 4th Assessment Report (2007) underscores the urgent need for critical climate data, and an international architecture supporting them, to observe and monitor the global water cycle and the global carbon ccle cycle. Climate Modelling Requirements: Model initialisation and definition of boundary conditions Model development and validation Observing and Data Requirements Climate Observations:Essential Climate Variables (GCOS ECV Inventory) defined by Global Climate Observing System (GCOS-82, 2003), Fundamental Climate Data Record (FCDR) It is clear that the requirements extending beyond the capabilities i of one-time research missions and operational satellite systems in existence today.
6 World Requirements: Climate Conferences Global Climate Observing System Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) World Climate Conferences WCC1 (1979): WCRP(1980) IPCC (1988). SCIENCE WCC2 (1990): GCOS(1992) UNFCCC (1992). OBSERVATIONS WCC3 (2009): GFCS- Global Framework for Climate Services. SERVICES These programmes report directly to the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and there Parties are expected to support them. 2 December

13 WMO OMM Key Role of WMO in the Space Architecture Communicate and Coordinate To communicate the importance and document the requirements of the Space Architecture, as one of the key components of GFCS To enhance international collaboration to the development of an Space Architecture t for supporting global l climateservices i and facilitating ti the global l climate data & products exchange Promote the development of WIGOS Space Component by user-driven approach To promote collaborations of space agencies with user communities for realizing To promote collaborations of space agencies with user communities for realizing economic and societal benefits through climate services
14 WMO Standard Practice: Rolling Review of Requirements - to identify new observing requirements & gaps to meet new WMO OMM initiatives (GFCS, Architecture.) Requirements Requirements Requirements Requirements Derived variables Performances Gap Analysis on observations Statement of Guidance and Implementation Plan for observing capabilities (Actions, Recommendations) Space and ground-based capabilities Members organizations and programmes 14
15 Gaps and deficiencies identified through the GFCS IP WMO OMM Inadequate atmospheric observations, limited space and surface-based remote sensing capabilities, and the absence of operational monitoring of some important air quality, radiation, etc ; Inadequate observational coverage of important oceanographic variables (ocean currents, mass flux, ocean salinity, and sea ice parameters); Inadequate terrestrial observing networks (river discharge, ground water, lake levels, permafrost, glaciers and ice caps) and absence of designated networks for soil moisture, Leaf Area Index (LAI), Fraction of Absorbed Photo-synthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) and above ground biomass Weather Climate Water 15
