  3. Structure of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) • CCSP - $2.0 Billion distributed over 13 Federal Agencies • Primarily Climate Observations, also analysis &modeling • CCTP - $2.0 Billion distributed over 9 Agencies, ~85% DOE • Primarily climate adaptation, especially energy technologies

  4. Budget Figures by Agency FY 2002 – FY 2005 (Discretionary budget authority in $millions) Not Including Weather Fullcost + = + = + =

Ruppe, USAID Purpose: stewardship for an observation system that will • document the evolving state of the climate system, • allow improved understanding of its changes,and • contribute to improved predictive capability for society Other Working Group CoChairs Atmospheric Composition: Dan Albritton, NOAA; Phil DeCola, NASA Climate Variability & Change : Jay Fein, NSF; Randy Dole, NOAA Carbon Cycle: Diane Wickland, NASA; Roger Dahlman, DOE Water Cycle: Jared Entin, NASA Ecosystems : Bryce Stokes, USDA; Susan Julius, EPA Human Contributions & Responses : Catlin Simpson, NOAA; Janet Gamble, EPA Land Use/Land Cover : Tom Loveland, USGS; Garik Gutman, NASA Communications/Internat’l/State: Kathryn Parker, EPA

  7. Draft US government plan for Global Earth Observations • Expected Release: Fall 2004 • Input to Int’l GEO • Earth Summit 3- • Brussels, Feb 2005 • Societal Benefit Areas:

  8. Appendices of IWGEO Plan • Appendix 1: Near - Term Opportunities: Data Management, Improved Observations for Disaster Warnings, Next Generation Global Land Observing System, Sea Level Observing System, National Integrated Drought Information System, Air Quality Assessment and Forecast System • Appendix 2: Technical Reports for the 9 Societal Benefit Areas • Climate Section Scope: National and International • CCSP Strategic Plan & GCOS 2nd Adequacy Report • http://www.climatescience.gov • http://www.wmo.ch/web/gcos/gcoshome.html • Deployed/Known Observing Systems: U.S. National GCOS Report • http://www.eis.noaa.gov/gcos/soc_long.pdf • & Future Systems (Not Yet Deployed), dependence on existing systems • Gaps: Land, Ice, Aerosol, Carbon, • Water Cycle, Radiation Budget, • Temperature Profiles, Paleoclimate

  9. Major Gaps and Challenges Adapt/Mitigate Understand

  10. Roles of Suborbital Earth Observations • Unique Observations: • In Situ Atmospheric • Adaptable, Mobile • Remote (e.g. Polar, Ocean) • Resolve Surface, Boundary layers • Unique technology • Development of new systems • Steps towards space • Steps towards other planets
