  1. (by the Theme Team, presented by Vladimir Ryabinin, WCRP) Why a talk on the IGOS-Cryo at a GIIPSY meeting? • GIIPSY is one of the IGOS – Cryo recommendations • Support to GIIPSY may be generated under the umbrella of IPY but successful follow-up after IPY requires agreement of main observing systems, their coordinators, sponsors and research groups - IGOS-Cryo is there to build the legacy

  2. opens the door to the Main Earth observation coordination consortia • Integrated Global Observing Strategy-Partnership (IGOS-P), 13 international and UN organizations; • Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS), 45 space agencies and Earth observation data users operating more than 100 satellites; • Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and the Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS)

  3. Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS) Partnership UN Organisations Committee on Earth Observing Satellites WMO International science support and coordination programs Global Observing Systems

UNDER DEVELOPMENT CRYOSPHERE LAND COVER GEODESY CONSIDERED HEALTH What is an IGOS Theme ? • Idea to prepare a report approved by IGOSP • Report • Its review by the community • Approved Report (by CEOS SIT and IGOS Partnership) • Implementation IGOS Themes

  5. Cryosphere • is undergoing dramatic changes, mostly as a consequence of climate change, and provides best indicators for it • is one of the most under-sampled elements within the climate system • is important (water, climate, transport, etc.) Approved by IGOSP-11, Rome, Italy, 27 May 2004 • User-requirement product driven • Has a ~10 year time frame • Goal 1: resources for observations • Goal 2: stronger commitment by observing system operators to sustain the observing system • Goal 3: better coordination Team: Jeff Key (Chair) and ~ 50 contributors from 14 countries
