Way forward for GAWseenagainstcurrent and newpriorities in WMO Strategic Plan 2016-2019 «Science for service» • Disaster risk reductionfocus • Global integrated polar prediction system (GIPPS) incl GCW • Megacities • Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) • WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) and WMO Information System (WIS)
Points in a GAW strategy 2016-2019 • USER DRIVEN PRODUCTS: AQ, deposition, UV, dust incl volcanic ash, climate, NWP incl seasonal weather forecasts, marine input • TOWARDS “ONE CHAIN”: Research driven and operational observations, model development and application, and services • CORE GAW ACTIVITY: Doing Good Observations, not only collecting others’ • POLICY FACILITATION: DRR, GIPPS, AQ, CLRTAP, GFCS, IPCC, new global/regional alliances, and FEWER PARALLEL PROCESSES in policies’ underpinning • DATA STEWARDSHIP. WIS (WIGOS). User-data provider interaction. Interoperability. Free data policy. • FOSTER COUNTRY CONTRIBUTIONS to research, infrastructure, education, institutional building • Management structure; communityofpractise
Global Framework for Climate Services (WMO) – Draft implementation plan January 2012:OBJECTIVES OF GFCS RESEARCH, MODELLING AND PREDICTION COMPONENT to conduct the fundamental climate research aimed at deeper understanding of the functioning and predictability of the Earth climate and enhancing the science readiness level to develop the core climate prediction tools and substantiated climate information products, and to maximize the societally relevant and useful climate information based on climate science by proactively targeting the research towards development and improvement of multiple practical applications and information products and satisfying the identified requirements of the users of climate information at the current science and technology readiness level.
