1. WMO World Meteorological OrganizationWorking together in weather, climate and water WMO RA-VI Workshop on Establishing a WIS-DCPC / WIGOS Marine Meteorological Centre as a Sub-Regional Facility for the Adriatic Sea Area Services Delivery and the Way Forward Zagreb, 17-18,May 2012 Fred Branski, President CBS www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/wigos/

2. Services Delivery It is a Holistic Approach! Services Delivery by its nature is user focused and forces you to consider all aspects that impact on your ability to deliver value to your users or user communities, government, private or public By working together the strengths and capabilities of each stakeholder can be leveraged for the benefit of all. Everyone does not have to do everything. Technical Commissions and Programmes can, should and are contributing to strengthening Members’ service delivery capabilities. Regional or sub-regional approach is an excellent model for engagement, implementation and collectively strengthening Members’ capabilities.

Marine Meteorology Services http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/amp/mmop/services_en.html Supporting Marine Services Delivery: Regional Marine Instrumentation Centre (RMIC) Observations to support marine services: GOOS, WIGOS, plus Data processing and forecasting systems to support marine services: NMHSs Information systems to support marine services: IODE, WIS, plus Stakeholders: MEMBERS: Yourselves - those who have a sub-regional stake in this effort Marine Meteorology and Oceanography Program (MMOP) Joint Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) Commission for Basic Systems (CBS) Commission for Instruments and Methods of Observation (CIMO) Regional Association - VI

6. Marine Pollution Emergency Response Support System for the high seas (MPERSS) http://www.maes-mperss.org/index.html MPERSS's primary objective is to have in place a coordinated, global system for the provision of meteorological and oceanographic information for marine pollution emergency response operations outside waters under national jurisdiction. The areas covered have the same geographical distribution than those for the GMDSS, and Area Meteorological Coordinators have been identified for all of them. A Supporting Service is a National Meteorological or Oceanographic Service which has accepted responsibility to provide on request, either directly or to the AMOC, meteorological (basic or enhanced) support for parts of, or an entire, designated MPI area. Depending on the location of the incident, Supporting Services may be requested by the emergency authority to provide the meteorological and/or oceanographic support directly to that authority. In such cases, the AMOC should be so advised by the Supporting Service. A Supporting Service should advise the AMOC of the facilities it has available to fulfill its role. The issued information may have been prepared solely by the AMOC, or by another Supporting Service(s), or a combination of both, on the basis of an agreement between the Services concerned.

7. The Way Forward Preview & Food for Thought Scoping: What should and/or needs to be accomplished? For what domains, geographical, temporal and user-community based? Observations to support marine services: GOOS, WIGOS, plus Data processing and forecasting systems to support marine services: NMHSs Information systems to support marine services: IODE, WIS, plus Inventory: What is already being done? What products and services are available? What facilities are in place today? What systems are available today? What is underway and/or will be available soon? Follow on Actions: Develop an architectural vision, centralized, distributed or hybrid based on component Concept Document – describe end state, relationship to wider regional/global view Roadmap and Action Plan(s) – specifics to be done, by whom, supported by who Implement !!!

8. The Way Forward Before You go Home! Concept Scoping and Commitment: What is it that should and/or needs to be accomplished? For what domains, geographical, temporal and user-community based? Observations to support marine services: GOOS, WIGOS, plus Data processing and forecasting to support marine services: NMHSs Information systems to support marine services: WIS, plus Initial Recommendations for: Architectural Vision Concept Document Roadmap and action plan(s) Workshop Statement: statement of general consensus willingness to participate invitation to external bodies to engage in support of process Reminder of some scoping issues
