1 Seventeenth Session of the Commission for Instruments and Methods of Observation (Amsterdam, the Netherlands, October 2018) Item 3.2 CIMO relationship with other WMO Activities Doc 3.2(1) WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) Bertrand Calpini, CIMO President Co-Chair, ICG-WIGOS

2 WIGOS Component Observing Systems: Global Observing System (WWW/GOS) Observing component of Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) WMO Hydrological Observing System (WHOS) Observing component of Global Cryosphere Watch (GCW) Co-Sponsored Observing Systems contributing to WIGOS: Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) (WMO-IOC-UNEP-ISC) Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) (IOC-WMO-UNEP-ISC)

3 Development & Implementation of WIGOS WIGOS Implementation Phase ( ) WIGOS Pre-Operational Phase ( ) Overseen by ICG-WIGOS Increased emphasis on regional and national activities Priority areas: 1. WIGOS Regulatory & Guidance Material 2. WIGOS Information Resource, including OSCAR 3. WIGOS Data Quality Monitoring System (WDQMS) 4. Regional Structure; incl. Regional WIGOS Centers 5. National WIGOS Implementation, coordination & governance mechanisms WIGOS Operational Phase ( ) / to be decided by Cg-18 in 2019 Driven by WIGOS Vision 2040 Regulated by WMO No. 49 & WMO No (WIGOS Manual) Guided by WMO No (WIGOS Guide) WIGOS tools ready to serve Members in operational mode (OSCAR, WDQMS) WIGOS to become element of WMO Basic Infrastructure, consistent with draft WMO Strategic Plan and Strategic Objective 2.1 Optimize the acquisition of observation data through the WMO Integrated Global Observing System

4 WIGOS Vision 2040 (to be adopted by Cg-18) Will serve as reference for WMO Members & other observing system operators, providing context & expected boundary conditions relevant for observing system developments Will inform long-term planning of satellite agencies about expected evolution of user requirements This drives the 2040 timeline Current 2025 Vision too near-term Will inform planning efforts of users of observations (NHMSs, NWP centres, ) regarding systems development & required computing and communication capabilities Consistent with CIMO Vision for the Future of Environmental Measurements (doc 3.4) thanks to CIMO MG contribution in drafting WIGOS Vision

5 Some key WIGOS Principles Design observing systems to meet specific requirements Requires structured inventory of requirements and existing and planned capabilities Design observing systems with a view toward synergies between different application areas Do not install separate systems for weather and climate measuring of e.g. atmospheric temperature One observation, many applications, many users Space- and surface-based observing networks seen together as one integrated system Complementary capabilities, designed based on information about what the other component can/will provide Note: Twelve Observing Network Design Principles outlined in WIGOS Manual, with guidance on how to address them in WIGOS Guide

6 What do we mean by Integration? Integrated network design, e.g. across national borders: Radar and lightning detection networks Radiosonde networks designed together with those of neighboring countries Integration across disciplines: Multi-purpose networks No separate networks for application areas that rely on measurements of the same variables, e.g. weather and climate Integration across organizational boundaries: Take advantage of other organizations outside the NMHS that operated observing systems; partner with them where possible Integration across technological boundaries; space- and surface-based observing system as one Space-based for excellent space/time coverage Ground-based for fine-scaled structure, in situ validation & measurements not possible from space Integration across different levels of performance; concept of tiered networks can include e.g. Crowd-sourced data & IoT Reference networks with data traceable to SI standards

7 Rolling Review of Requirements (RRR) WMO Congress: All WMO and WMO co-sponsored observing systems shall use the RRR to design networks, plan evolution and assess performance. The RRR is the process used by WMO to collect, vet and record user requirements for all WMO application areas and match them against observational capabilities Rolling Review of Requirements

8 WMO Application Areas in the RRR 1. Global numerical weather prediction 2. High-resolution numerical weather prediction 3. Nowcasting and very short range forecasting 4. Seasonal and inter-annual forecasting 5. Aeronautical meteorology 6. Forecasting atmospheric composition 7. Monitoring atmospheric composition 8. Atmospheric composition for urban applications 9. Ocean applications 10. Agricultural meteorology 11. Hydrology 12. Climate monitoring 13. Space weather 14. Climate Science

9 OSCAR oscar.wmo.int The RRR is supported by three key databases of OSCAR, the Observation Systems Capabilities and Review tool : OSCAR/Requirements, in which technology free requirements are provided for each application area, expressed in units of geophysical variables (260 in total currently), not measurands; not just atmosphere, also terrestrial, ocean, cryosphere, OSCAR/Space, listing the capabilities of all satellite sensors, whether historical, operational or planned OSCAR/Surface, list surface-based capabilities; developed by MeteoSwiss for WMO, operational since May 2016

10 WIGOS Metadata Standard Approved by WMO Cg-17 (2015) Land, ocean, space Fixed, mobile observing facilities In-situ, remote-sensing instruments Physical, chemical, biological, hydrological observations Weather, climate, warnings, XML schema & API 1. Observed variable 2. Purpose of observation 3. Station/ platform 4. Environment 5. Instruments & methods of observation 6. Sampling 7. Data processing and reporting 8. Data Quality 9. Ownership and Data Policy 10.Contact Jörg Klausen et al. 8 October 2018 CIMO TECO 2018, Amsterdam 10

15 WIGOS Data Quality Monitoring System (WDQMS) Real-time monitoring of performance (data availability and data quality) of all WIGOS components, searchable by region, country, station type, period, etc. Delayed mode monitoring of data quality as measured against reference sources of information will be included for non-real time observations Incident management component for mitigation of performance issues The WDQMS will provide a complete description of how well WIGOS is functioning Current activities Pilot project on NWP-based monitoring; ECMWF, NCEP, DWD, JMA RA-I Demonstration Project of monitoring and incident management involving Kenya and Tanzania running through 2017/2018

16 Regional WIGOS Centres (1/2) Why? Many WMO Members requesting support from Secretariat for national implementation efforts Can be addressed more efficiently and effectively at regional level What? Initial role or RWC will be to support national WIGOS Implementation efforts, in particular as concerns OSCAR/Surface; ensuring metadata input and QC WDQMS; especially fault management component How? To be decided by individual WMO Regions - will likely take place primarily at the sub-regional level, aligned with existing cultural, linguistic and/or political groupings of countries

17 Regional WIGOS Centres (2/2) Region I: Interest (e.g. Morocco, Tanzania); limited national resources, WMO seeking donor funds; sub-regional basis. Region II: Interest from China, Japan, Saudi Arabia; will be done on a subregional basis; two Workshops planned for 2018 Region III: plans for Virtual RWC maturing; Region VI used as model; will be centered on WIGOS-SAS Project Region IV: no way forward yet Region V: Australia, Fiji, Indonesia and Singapore have all informally expressed interest; to be discussed during RA-V MG at EC-70 Region VI: successful RWC operating in pilot mode at DWD thanks to EUTMETNET engagement, with partial functionalities; interest also from Croatia (marine observations) and Belarus (Eurasian countries in RA II and RA VI)

18 Summary and Conclusion WIGOS is a global framework for integrating all WMO and co-sponsored observing systems under a common regulatory and management umbrella Purpose is to help WMO Members provide and gain access to more observational data at reduced cost by taking an integrated approach Regulatory material and tools has been developed & implemented by WMO and is still undergoing further development Strong involvement from Members is necessary and is beginning to happen Transition to WIGOS IDs and uptake of OSCAR/Surface are the main technical tasks Regional WIGOS Centers to provide important support functions for Members GBON to allow to address minimum requirements of GNWP and climate reanalysis Fully aligned with new draft Strategic Plan , SO 2.1 Key role of CIMO in WIGOS development Draft Decision CIMO-17/3.2(1)/1 is on CIMO s participation in ICG-WIGOS, and CIMO s role in future management of WIGOS under new WMO Governance Structure, further development of OSCAR, and WIGOS Regulatory & Guidance Material
