The future GOS should build upon existing components, both surface and space based, and capitalize on existing and new observing technologies not presently incorporated or fully exploited

Each incremental addition to the GOS would be reflected in better data, products and services from the NMHSs

ISS - WIS

Where we are in this project?

Considerable efforts were made in developing the technical and operational specifications of the WIS GISCs and DCPCs, including an ad-hoc GISC & DCPC developers meeting (Langen,

Germany, 29-31 March 2006).(DWD, ECMWF, EUMETSAT, KMA, Météo-

France, NCAR, ROSHYDROMET and JCOMM Centre Obninsk, UKMetOffice)


ISS - WIS

Where we are in this project? An initial implementation of

some WIS functions could be achieved by the end of 2006 in

a semi-operational mode.

WIS success depends upon pilot projects.

EC-LVIIIEC-LVIII20020066 WIS-relevant Pilot

Projects• CBS RA VI VGISC project (Exeter, Offenbach, Toulouse, ECMWF, EUMETSAT)

• CBS VPN Pilot Project based on the Internet in RA II and V

CCl CliWare – (Obninsk, Russian Federation, portal access to climate data over the Internet)

• JCOMM GISC-E2EDM prototype (Obninsk, Russian Federation)

• EUMETNET UNIDART Web portal for a uniform data request inferface

• CAgM WAMIS (World Agremeteorological Information Service; S. Korea)

• СAS THORPEX/TIGGE

• NERC DataGrid – UK e-Science project for accessing environmental information

• Earth System Grid – US project that enables management, discovery, distributed access, processing, & analysis of distributed tera-scale climate data


ISS - TECO-WIS

TECO-WIS will be held in association with the extraordinary session of CBS – 2006, November.


WIS

The WIS position and functions in the general WMO infrastructure should be

precisely defined for better understanding and implementation by the Member

countries.


ISS activity

GTS support to the Exchange of Multi-Hazard Early Warning, including Tsunami Warnings

EC-LVIIIEC-LVIII20020066 ISS - Migration to Table Driven Code

FormsECEC--LVIIILVIII20020066

ISS Key Tasks and activity

Update GTS design (incl. MTN), taking best benefits from ICT, towards the WIS core network;

Design & implementation planning for the WIS communication networks and centres (GISCs, DCPCs);

Promote & coordinate migration plan to table-driven code forms with other commissions;

Only small number of countries had developed or were currently developing a national plan

for the migration to Table Driven Code Forms (TDCF).

EC-LVIIIEC-LVIII20020066 DPFS - Data-Processing & Forecasting

System Ensemble Prediction Systems (EPS)

14 GDPFS centers are running EPS and the products continue to be of considerable interest as they are a realization of quantifying uncertainty in the numerical simulations and predictions of the atmosphere.

“Guidelines on using information from EPS in combination with single higher resolution NWP forecasts” (February 2006) was developed to assist meteorological users of EPS products.


System Long-range Forecasting (LRF)

14 LRF producers The Lead Centre for Standard Verification System for

LRF (SVSLRF) stated that the Web site is operational and the exchange of verification data has started

The WMO Secretariat recently sent a letter to the PRs of the concerned countries inviting them to consider, as recommended by CBS-XIII, producing a document for the next session of CBS to seek recognition as an official Global Producing Centre (GPC) of LRF and to consider submitting their centre’s verification results to the Lead Centre for SVSLRF.


System Severe Weather Forecasting Demonstration Project

(SWFDP)

SWFDP is being organized as a regional project whose scope is to explore and test the usefulness of the products that are currently available from NWP centres, or products which could be made available from current systems, with the goal to improving severe weather forecasting services in countries where sophisticated model outputs are not currently used.

CBS, through the Project Steering Committee, decided to implement in 2006 the first SWFDP regional sub-project in south-eastern Africa.


System Severe Weather Forecasting Demonstration Project (SWFDP)


System Nuclear Emergency Response Activities (ERA)

The Coordination Group on Nuclear ERA reviewed the status of implementation of the operational arrangements that involve

the WMO RSMCs with activity specialization in nuclear environmental emergency response (Beijing, Tokyo, Obninsk, Montréal, Washington, Melbourne, Exeter, Toulouse), and the

RTH Offenbach for operational notification via the GTS.

The review was based on the results of the international ConvEx-3 exercise (May, 2005) organized by the Inter-

Agency Committee on Response to Nuclear Accidents, led by IAEA, as well as in the context of the IAEA-adopted

International Action Plan for Strengthening the International Preparedness and Response System for Nuclear and

Radiological Emergencies (2004-2009).


System Non-Nuclear Emergency Response Activities

The meeting of the CBS ET on Modelling of Atmospheric Transport for non-Nuclear Emergency Response was held

in Melbourne, Australia, 19 to 23 September 2005.

Because of the predominately “localized” nature of environmental emergencies related to chemical incidents

(spills or releases), the strategy and action plan should be concentrated on developing the necessary capabilities at the NMHSs. However, in the case of smoke from large

fires, a regionalized approach would be appropriate, where RSMCs could provide emergency guidance and

support to NHMSs and at the same time build capacity at the national level. A draft action plan was developed.


Major current activities

Capacity building and transfer of technology Natural disaster mitigation and public response to warnings; cross-border warnings exchange Relationships with the media, emergency management Application of new technology in PWS product development, design and service delivery Verification, service assessment and quality management Enhancement of NMS visibility and status

PWSPWS


OPAG on PWS had carried out an extensive review of the Programme, its functions and strategies.

It had re-defined these in view of the emerging trends and needs in service provision and delivery.

PWSPWS


WEB-BASED PROJECTS International exchange of public forecasts and warning

World Weather Information Service (WWIS) Web Site; provides a centralized source of official global

city weather information; carries climatological data for 1002 cities from 153 Members and

weather forecasts for 858 cities by 90 Members;

Severe Weather Information (SWI) Web Site; provides a centralized source for media access of official tropical cyclone warnings and information;

has global coverage and participation by 19 Members.

EC-LVIIIEC-LVIII20020066CBS involvement to WMO cross CBS involvement to WMO cross

cutting programmes and cutting programmes and activitiesactivities

DPM, Quality Management System, WMO Space Programme, Climate study and GCOS-related activities, GEO/GEOSS process, THORPEX, International Polar Year……


GEOSSMany GEO targets are relevant to CBS and many CBS activities are relevant to GEO.

CBS proposes that the GEO Work Plan focus on two specific activities:

assessing the current data transfer & dissemination requirements and systems in all SBA;

preparing a detailed high level description of what new system would be and would do.


DPMOver its life time, CBS has assembled a significant degree of competence and

developed a broad network of expertise in matters closely related to DPM within its OPAG

structure.

It will be important to ensure that the execution of the Implementation Plan for DPM and the work of CBS in this area, can proceed

in a complementary fashion, so that there is no un-necessary duplication of effort and/or

resources.

EC-LVIIIEC-LVIII20020066 Integration of the WMO

Observing System

Most of the WMO sponsored programmes are interconnected/

WMO observing Systems should be developed into Integrated Observing System

WWW GOS would serve as an infrastructure for integrated observing system


WWW visibility as a core infrastructure element for most

WMO programmes must be improved.
