Enhancing Meteorological Services and Collaboration for Arctic, Antarctic, and Third Pole Regions

On February 25, 2014, key accomplishments in meteorological services were discussed, highlighting a new draft of the Services Requirements Document aimed at improving service outcomes across the Arctic, Antarctic, and Third Pole regions. The document stresses the need for collaborative input from research and observation teams, and aligns with international reports that call for advancements in weather and sea ice forecasting. Future actions include refining requirements, outreach to indigenous groups, and aligning with WMO strategies.

  1.

  2. Accomplishments – Status of Work • Services Requirements Document (v2) new draft available for review • Reworked to enable greater elaboration about service outcomes in key thematic areas • Explicit mapping to the geographic areas: Arctic, Antarctic, Third Pole • Context/opportunity for input from research and observations teams on strategies to meet service needs • Several international, intergovernmental reports, (e.g., AMSA, Arctic Report Card) provide context and drivers for service improvements • “National Strategies” outline priorities around stewardship of the Arctic Region, responsible resource development, and international collaboration. • Calls for specific improvements in weather and sea ice forecasts, sea ice research, observations, and stronger foundational science. • GIPPS is a likely cross-cutting solution for these National Strategies in the years ahead.

  3. Future Actions and Considerations • Service requirements paper is coming along • Refine paper, complete service needs sections • Need inputs from Antarctic and information from observations and research task teams • Ensure alignment with WMO Service Strategy Implementation Plan • Outstanding tasks from EC PORS 4 • Outreach to indigenous groups (i.e., the ICC) • Outreach to policy makers, e.g., Arctic Council, ATCM  • Liaise with the Antarctic task team and consider a subgroup for the Third Pole (also liaise with RAII)
