• Purpose of CEOP: Provide data for water and energy cycle research.

• Primary data period: Oct. 1, 2002 – Dec. 31, 2004.

• The purpose of WTF-CEOP: to provide services to CEOP scientists – for data discovery, data access and data integration.

- CEOP -Coordinated Enhanced Observing

CEOP Phase-2 Concept (1/2)

CEOP has entered Phase-2• Phase-1 (through 2004, end of main data period)

– Main effort was on collecting data – Science application groups were organized

• Phase-2 (2005–2010) emphasis is on research and system expansion to meet commitments to:– CEOS/IGOS-P Water Theme– WCRP/COPES – GEOSS

8

CEOP Phase-2 will have 2 parts (follows the same schedule as GEOSS):

• Part-I (2005-2006)– Apply CEOP Phase-I datasets to accomplish Phase-I

research goals.– Build the framework for a water cycle data system.

• Part-II (2007-2010)– Implement water cycle data system defined in Part-I.– Advance research in areas defined in the CEOP project

(e.g. climate modeling, monsoon studies, cold climates, extreme weather events and aerosols).

WTF-CEOP Project2 Prototyping Activities

1. JAXA Prototype System• Provides data discovery, data access and data inte

gration of CEOP data.• Described in WTF-CEOP Implementation Plan #

1.

2. NASA Prototype System• Provide a bridge between OPeNDAP formatted dat

a requests and OGC WCS servers.

Meetings (since WGISS-21)

1. Teleconference: 2 times

2. JAXA-NASA Face to Face meeting Sep.7 & 8 @GMU Fruitful discussion especially on future

work plan (next steps for prototypes).

Contribution to GEO (1/5)

1. Contribution to GEO 2006 Workplan• As a response to WGISS-21 A/I 21-5, WT

F-CEOP TT identified 4 tasks as “possible WTF-CEOP TT contribution tasks” WA-06-05 WA-06-06 WA-06-07 AR-06-02

Contribution to GEO (2/5)

2. Contribution to GEO 2007-2009 Workplan• WTF-CEOP TT propose to support the followin

g tasks. WA-06-05 WA-06-07 WA-07-P2

Contribution to GEO (3/5)WA-06-05: In-situ water resource monitoring

Initiate the creation of a coordination mechanism within GEO for global in-situ water observations, including ocean observations, and advocate synergy and sharing of infrastructure among observing systems. The current water cycle observation capability is inadequate for monitoring long-term changes in the global water system and their feedback into the climate system, and the lack of and inaccessibility of crucial data is also a major constraint for sustainable development of water resources and improvement of water management practices. In addition to filling gaps in measurement capability, interoperability of observing systems, and standardization of metadata for data sharing, progress in product development of the global near real-time river runoff network, advocate sharing of telecommunication infrastructure and joint know-how are important goals that need to be reached within the next few years.

• Experience in building WTF-CEOP Prototype may become contribution to this?

14

Contribution to GEO (4/5)

WA-06-07: Capacity building program in Latin America Initiate a capacity building program in Latin America to develop tools for using remote sensing data in support of water management, and to show the value of Earth observations generally in water resource management. A capacity building program in Latin America, focused on the use of Earth observation data for water resources management, will be running for the next years. • WTF-CEOP Prototype may be an example of

how to use EO data for water resource management?

15

Contribution to GEO (5/5)

WA-07-P2: Satellite Water Measurements Develop an operational mechanism to provide water level observations in rivers, lakes/reservoirs and estuaries from satellite altimetry to support the upgrade of deficient run-off water gauge networks. Combine different types of satellite data that are relevant for water measurements (quantity and quality) with in-situ observations for better accuracy and global coverage. Produce an implementation plan for a broad global water cycle data integration system that combines in-situ, satellite data and model outputs.

• WTF-CEOP system is a prototype of a “global water cycle data integration system“ ?
