  1. GFCS Side Event II Strengthening Observations and Monitoring in Support of Climate Services Adrian Simmons European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Chair, Steering Committee for GCOS

  2. Components of the Global Framework Users: government, private and research sectors, covering agriculture, water, health, construction, disaster reduction, environment, tourism, transport, etc User Interface Climate Services Information System Observations and Monitoring Research, Modelling and Prediction CAPACITY BUILDING

  3. Components of the Global Framework Users: government, private and research sectors, covering agriculture, water, health, construction, disaster reduction, environment, tourism, transport, etc Services related to past and present climate User Interface Climate Services Information System Observations and Monitoring Research, Modelling and Prediction CAPACITY BUILDING

  4. Components of the Global Framework Users: government, private and research sectors, covering agriculture, water, health, construction, disaster reduction, environment, tourism, transport, etc Services related to past and present climate Services related to future climate User Interface Climate Services Information System Observations and Monitoring Research, Modelling and Prediction CAPACITY BUILDING

  5. The scope of the global observing system for climate • The observations • what is measured, how, where • how measurement is sustained, how change is managed • Data transmission • what is transmitted, with what time delay, how it is coded • Data management • archiving and access to raw data, metadata and processed data • Fundamental climate data records • including data rescue, recalibration, homogenisation • Data products • satellite retrievals, gridded fields, comprehensive reanalyses • with multiple national and regional data providers • and multiple contributing international arrangements Global Terrestrial Observing System Technical commissions and programmes

  6. Conclusions on observations of WCC-3 • Sustain current observing systems • including key new components • Improve operation and planning • identifying deficiencies, achieving resilience, • following climate monitoring principles • Enhance observing systems • filling gaps in network coverage and variables measured, ensuring adequate urban and coastal monitoring, increasing deployment of climate sensors on operational meteorological satellites, establishing key reference networks • Improve data rescue, exchange, archiving and product formation • working towards free and unrestricted access • Identify additional data needs for adaptation • from national assessment of requirements • Improve regional implementation of GCOS • ClimDev Africa, GOOS Africa, Pacific Islands GCOS, ...

  7. Other data needs Observations of variables with specific impacts on user sectors

  8. Other data needs Socio-economic data for product formation for product formation for emission estimation Observations of variables with specific impacts on user sectors

  9. Resource requirements • Progress is being made within existing resources and mechanisms • Capacity building support remains small in relation to needs • GFCS Taskforce Report estimated US$ 20-25M yearly for three years, then US$ 7-10M annually, for restoring GCOS baseline stations • GCOS estimated US$ 2.5B per year to be the full requirement for additional spending on implementation to support the UNFCCC • UNFCCC Cancun Agreements • call for improving systematic observation for adaptation • call for technology development and transfer to support this • provide funding opportunities for developing countries
