3. The World Is Flat by Thomas Friedman (2006) • The global competitive playing field is being leveled… • It is now possible for more people than ever to collaborate in real time with more other people on more different kinds of work from more different corners of the planet and on a more equal footing than at any previous time in the history of the world • Instead of looking to solve a problem within a vertical silo, you look outward to who has the skills. Brain power is everywhere. Brain power is global.

4. Ten “Flatteners” • The New Age of Creativity: When the Walls Went Down and Windows Went Up • The New Age of Connectivity: Internet Matures • WorkFlow Software: Enables Effective Collaboration in Different Locations • Uploading: Harnessing the Power of Communities • Outsourcing: Sharing Labor • Offshoring: Sharing Production • Supply Chaining: Increasing Connections Between Suppliers and Customers • Insourcing: Allows Small Companies to Become Global Companies • In-Forming: Dramatic Change in How Easy It Is to Access Information • Steroids: Mobile, Digital, Personal (Shifts Power from Institutions to People)

5. Overview • Foundation • PANGEA Workshops to Date • Existing PANGEA Partnerships • Planned Workshops • Ways Forward

6. Initial Global Ocean Observing System for ClimateStatus against the GCOS Implementation Plan and JCOMM targets 63% May 2012 Total in situ networks 87% 100% 62% 81% 100% 43% 79% 24% 48%

8. Partnerships for New GEOSS Applications (PANGEA)www.jcomm.info/pangea-concept • 230M Years ago the Super-continent PANGEA Existed • Reunite Met/Ocean Institutes to Increase in-situ Ocean Observations • Advanced at WMO EC June 2010 • Mutually Beneficial Resource Sharing Partnerships • Demonstrate Socio-economic Applications of Ocean Data

9. PANGEA Builds On and Complements Other Existing IOC and WMO Capacity Building Programs • Build Human, Infrastructure and Institutional Capacity, • National Advocacy: Government Officials responsible for making policy and setting budgets are invited to participate in workshops , • In-country practical applications training of ocean data provided to large and diverse groups of regional participants, • Critical resources such as Regional ship time, Instrumentation, Data, Expertise, and training are shared Amongst Partners, • Applications training of ocean data can be tailored to specific socio-economic sectors required by individual Nations and Regions.

10. Advances Made in Implementing the Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array Tropical Moored Buoy Array Program: A coordinated, multi-national effort to implement a sustained moored buoy observing system in the global tropics for climate research and forecasting

11. Indonesia Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) & Agency for Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT)

12. India Ministry of Earth Sciences • Science Colloquium New Delhi 2008, 2009, 2012 • Research moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and prediction (RAMA) • Climate Model and Ocean Assimilation Analyses for the Indian Ocean Region • ClimateMonitoring and Prediction System for the South Asian Region • South Asian Regional Reanalysis (SARR) • Latest Agreements, Washington October 2010 • INSAT-3D Satellite Data • Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gas Measurements and Research • Frame work for India–US Collaboration On Tropical Cyclone Research • Establish “Monsoon Desk” at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, Washington, DC

13. The First DBCP In-Region Western Indian Ocean Capacity Building Workshop – South African Weather Service www.jcomm.info/wio-dbcp

14. Second DBCP In-Region Capacity Building Workshop for the Western Indian Ocean (WIO-2)Mauritius 2-6 May 2011www.jcomm.info/wio-dbcp2  • Continue to Build Capacity Within Regional Institutes to Apply New Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS) Data, such as from RAMA and others, for Enhanced Predictive Capability for the Region, • Provide Training in Deployments and Management of In-situ Ocean Observations, • Continue to Build In-Region Modelling Development Teams (MDT) and Observation Development Teams (ODT), including for the implementation of buoy programmes

15. Third DBCP Western Indian Ocean Capacity Building Workshop- Mombasa April 2012 – Host: Kenya Meteorological Department www.jcomm.info/wio-dbcp3

18. WIO-3 Resolutions • Establish A WIO Science Alliance • VOS/SOOP/DBCP Pilot Project • In-region Glider Capability • Kenya PR Dr. Mukabana Requested workshop issues be brought to the attention of the upcoming African Ministers Conference on Meteorology (AMCOMET)

19. Synergy with Agulhas and Somali Current ASCLME for Social-Economic Applications 2°

20. Sufficient data are now available to start an effective monitoring programme – at least in the southern ‘low-risk’ section.

21. Other 2012 DBCP PANGEA Capacity Building Workshops • Facilitate Resource Sharing Partnerships for in-situ ocean observations in the NPOMS among member countries • Study NPOMS activities for capacity building within regional institutes and universities, particularly the East and South China Sea based on ocean observation data and numerical models collected from buoys such as the Research Moored Array and Drift Buoy • Provide training in deployments and management of in-situ ocean observations, • Continue to build observation system and develop regional ocean and atmospheric models, including implementing buoy programs and initiating coordination of socio-economic application • Facilitate collaboration between existing and planned studies of the region to contribute to capacity building in the NPOMS

22. Future PANGEA Partnerships Being Advanced • Korea’s New Research Vessel: Potential New Partner for Pacific Tropical Moored Buoy Array • China: SOA-First Institute of Oceanography is Offering Africa Training • Chile • Others? Please let me know!

23. Ways Forward • PANGEA Resource Sharing Partnerships Have Proven to Be an Effective and Inclusive Means to Build Observation-Applications Capacity Around the World, • The PANGEA concept will be Equally Effective Between any Two Institutes around the World who have Common Goals and wish to Share Resources • Please Contact Me to Receive Email Announcements on Future Workshops
