Joint CCl / CAgM / CHy Expert Group on Climate, Food, and Water (JEG-CFW), 7-8 November 2011, Casablanca, Morocco
EC Noted:-WMO should remain active in this field especially with regards to plant phenology.
-CAgM should take the lead on this topic and encouraged Management Groups of CAgM and CCl to monitor and report on progress.
-Review ToR of each of the UN Conventions that are related to the CCl, CAgM and CHy and to assist the JEG- CFW in reviewing any existing global phenological initiatives

WIGOS related pending Issues
Establishment of Core AgMet Station in member countries reference site for ground truth information for RS, Flux, LSM, QC/QA,
phenology, crop yields, biomass production, ecosystem services, etc.
Strengthening of ReAnalysis Data for land surface information to support AgModel’s calibration and validation In situ observation is limited, thus reanalysis data are essential for model
developments
Identification/Demonstration of case-studies/pilot projects at national/regional level on the integrated surface observation networks in agriculture Integration over diverse disciplines/entities for one stop service, eg.
Meteorological vs agronomical observations through new governance
Enhancement of NWP-based AgMet forecast services in parallel with observation based now-casting service Better use of Seasonal to inter-annual predictions in Agriculture Diverse forecasts using models will reduce uncertainties in predition under high
climate variability condition.

Challenges with Suggestions?
Limits in Resources– Human resources : Experts, Secretariat, Project office– Financial resources : pilot projects, outreach, secretariat support
Multi-disciplinary Aspects- non-NMHS experts : poor collaboration with NMHSs, limited support- Domestic collaborations without governance- Diverse partners with poor communication networks : FAO, UNCCD, CBD,
GEOSS
More Demands WMO Requirements Reform : restructuring of CAgM OPAG GFCS : Agriculture & Food security WIGOS : new observation elements, integration/standardization, service
provision WIS : DCPC, user-interface, ICT resources, GIS-online Collaborations with Partners TCs & RAs : GEOSS / FAO / ISBM / UNCCD : no consistutional own network
The better observations, the better outlooks,
for better Life & Earth!

Resource Mobilization/Allocation
There are some examples of TCs securing additional resources, but typically these funds are only for an initial demonstration project.
It is important that the PTC have open discussions on future role of TCs giving emphasis on most efficient way of future collaborations within TCs and with RAs due to current limited resources in terms of human/finance/infrastructure/governance aspects.
CAgM proposes the following options;
1) Re-Allocation of Resources to meet impending requirements
2) New Resource Exploration to meet emerging requirements
3) Re-Organization of CAgM Structures to meet future
requirements
Backgrounds
TCs are provided with financial resources for the basic number of expert meetings during the intersessional period.
Feedback from several members of WMO expert teams have indicated that this is insufficient to be effective.
Also, there are no funds available from the WMO budget for TCs to develop and organize projects.
Therefore, if projects are to be developed, members of the TC must take the time raise funds. This is time-consuming task for all but the most dedicated TC member.
Without additional funds, WMO TCs can only
contribute in a limited way and the lack of funds also lead to a perception that the TCs are not effective.
In addition, due to the global financial crisis, one cannot expect additional funds from the wealthier countries.
Objectives & Rationale
• To invite suggestions/recommendations from PTC for efficient CAgM management under limited resource availability in order to meet impending WMO requirements including strategic plan. Continuous Improvement Initiative, as well as impending issues for implementations on GFCS, WIS, WIGOS, etc. in terms of resource mobilization and allocations for human, financial, infrastructure & governance aspects
• To share and learn lessons from know-hows, experiences on successful/failed cases, future strategies from TCs and RAs on efficient utilization/mobilization of resources.
• To propose feasible options for re-structuring of CAgM for better management and operation in order to meet user requirements through efficient implementation on WMO requirements
Re-Allocation of Resources to meet impending requirements
Through ToR modification/update - for emerging requirements (OPAG) - Operational service oriented (ET) - re-assignment of new missions (ICT)
• OPAG : multi-missions (new initiatives)• ICT : new assignments (TT, TF, ..)• ET : minimum modification/update
WMO PTC Meeting, 30 January-1 February 2012, Geneva.
New Resource Explorationto meet emerging requirements
Financial resource - Trust funds (WAMIS, GFCS, ..) e.g. KMA
Human resource - Scientific society e.g. AgMet Soc. at
National/Regional/Global levels
Infrastructures - Institutions (government, private, …) e.g. KMA/KISTI, ESRI, NASA-MEX
Re-Organization of CAgM Structuresto meet future requirements
MG : OPAG Chairs / Coordinators - OPAG chairs as coordinators with RAs - Coordinators/OPAG chairs also chair new TTs/TFs ICT : mobilized to meet new demands on experts - converted to TT members for GFCS, WIGOS, WIS - assign new missions as rapporteur, task force, etc. (e.g. sub-sectors : crop, animal, forestry, fishery ..) TT for GFCS : 5 members with a chairperson - OBS/RMP/CSIS/UIP/CB - each member has a role of coordinator with
TCs/RAs (e.g. OBS for GEO/WIGOS, CSIS for WIS, etc.)
