  7. Achieving Global Coverage

  8. Congratulations! 51%

  9. Statement by the President, 20 September 2004, The White House • “We have created a new integrated ocean observing system with international partners.” • NOAA Annual Guidance Memorandum for FY 2005: • “The Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) must be developed as a major component of the U.S. contribution to GEOSS.” • GOESS 10-Year Implementation Plan Reference Document: • “Support implementation of actions called for in GCOS Implementation Plan.”

  10. GEOSS Implementation PlanReference Document:The Ocean Baseline • October 2004 --- GCOS Implementation Plan for the Global Observing System for Climate in support of the UNFCCC (GCOS-92): • The system put in place for Climate will also support global weather prediction, global and coastal ocean prediction, marine hazards forecast and warning system, marine environmental monitoring, many other non-climate users.

  11. Office of Climate Observation Mission Build and sustain a global climate observing system that will respond to the long-term observational requirements of the operational forecast centers, international research programs, and major scientific assessments.

  12. Objectives • Document long term trends in sea level change • Document ocean carbon sources and sinks • Document the ocean’s storage and global transport of heat and fresh water • Document the ocean-atmosphere exchange of heat and fresh water

  13. International Partnerships • are Central A global system by definition crosses international boundaries. All of NOAA’s global contributions are managed in cooperation with the Joint WMO/IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) -- presently 64 nations.

  33. $ K $23,578 $20,792 $15,319 $13,404 FY 2002 FY 2003 FY 2004 FY 2005

  34. FY 2006 Budget Planning • Ocean Observations for Climate (+$3.5 million) • Incremental advancements across all networks • Sea level • Tide gauge stations --Real-time GCOS Reference Stations • Ocean carbon • pCO2 on ships and buoys • Dedicated ship time for Carbon/CLIVAR survey • Ocean Heat and Fresh Water • Dedicated ship time for Ocean Reference Stations • More Ship of Opportunity HRX lines • Surface Salinity on drifters. Ships? • Automated met stations on VOS? • Gliders? Moorings? • Ice Mass Balance Buoys? • Tropical Buoy Expansion (+$3.2 million) • Indian Ocean -- 50% of the array • Next Generation Technology development • Salinity on TAO • TAO/PIRATA Ocean Reference Stations • PIRATA extensions

  35. Ocean Analysis and Expert TeamQuestions from last year’s Annual System Review • Should we undertake a program of ocean analysis? YES • What percent of the budget is reasonable? 20% of ‘04 increase? • Do you favor: • Seven Teams? • One Team? ONE TEAM • Phased, community-wide workshop approach?

  36. Following the OCO Annual System Review C&GC and Climate Monitoring Working Groups Duck Key, April 2004 • An integrated observing system strategy must include observations and subsequent analysis components

  37. Next Question: • Where is the boundary between the Observing System in the context of total climate services? • I.e., what should be funded in the Observing System Box and what should be funded by other Climate Programs? • Pilot projects will help answer this programmatic issue. • Pilot projects in 7 of the 8 products areas. • Partnership with NCEP to deliver GODAS Model Products.

  38. Suite of Ocean Analysis Products • Sea level to identify changes resulting from climate variability. • Ocean carbon content every ten years and the air-sea exchange seasonally. • Sea surface temperature and surface currents to identify significant patterns of climate variability. • Sea surface pressure and air-sea exchanges of heat, momentum, and fresh water to identify changes in forcing functions driving ocean conditions and atmospheric conditions. • Ocean heat and fresh water content and transports to: • identify changes in the global water cycle • identify changes in thermohaline circulation and monitor for indications of possible abrupt climate change • identify where anomalies enter the ocean, how they move and are transformed, and where they re-emerge to interact with the atmosphere. • Sea ice thickness and concentrations.
