  10. MEGACITIES Urbanization prospects in 2050 Percentage of urban population • Half of world’s population already lives in urban areas • Between 2011 and 2050 population to increase from 7 to over 9 billion • Urban population to increase from 3.6 to 6.2 billion, 66% of total population • Most urban population growth to occur in the less developed regions • The number of megacities (10 million) is currently 23 and is expected to reach 37 in 2025. Adapted from United Nations 2012

  11. Meteorological data: Private good or publicgood? www.yr.no, number of unique users per week 2008-2012 • Public good: Is not used up even if many take part in using it. Not suited for the market • Private good: Is used up (shoes!). A requirement for a functioning market. • Positive externalities are lost when public goods are commercialised • All data (observations and prognosis) owned by MET-Norway are available at zero data price • Free license arrangement .hov

  12. Resolution 40 (Cg-XII 1995) WMO policy and practice for the exchange of meteorological and related data and productswith guidelines on relationships in commercial meteorological activitieshttp://www.wmo.int/pages/about/Resolution40_en.html • As a fundamental principle WMO commitsitself to broadening and enhancingthefree and unrestrictedinternationalexchangeofmeteorological and related data and products; • (1) Membersshallprovideon a free and unrestricted basis essential data and productswhicharenecessary for theprovisionof services in support oftheprotectionoflife and property and thewell-beingof all nations, • (2) Membersshouldalsoprovidetheadditional data and productswhicharerequired to sustain WMO Programmes at the global, regional, and nationallevels and, further, as agreed, to assist otherMembers in theprovisionofmeteorological services in theircountries. • (3) Membersshouldprovide to theresearch and educationcommunities, for their non-commercialactivities, free and unrestrictedaccess to all data and productsexchanged under theauspicesof WMO

  14. Develop GAW into a three-dimensional network through integration of all kind of observations from surface to space Strategic Plan for GAW 2008-2015 Main Long-term Objectives Implementation • Start delivering data in near real time by using WMO GTS/WIS Rationale Mission Objectives • Merge all activities from the observation to the users application into coherent data processing chains related to a GAW quality management system • Support assimilation of the essential climate variables in atmospheric transport and numerical weather prediction models

  17. WIS Implementation Plan • Two parallel parts: • Part A: Further improvements of the GTS for time-critical and operation-critical data for all WMO Programmes • Part B: Extension of services through flexible data discovery, access and retrieval services (DAR) through the Internet – a component of WIGOS for new data sets. Metadata driven.

  19. 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

  21. GAW links to other WMO initiatives • For GFCS – GAW contributes through observations and services related to drivers of climate change (e.g. GHG Bulletin) and applications in various priority areas (e.g. health, agriculture and food security), through the Research and Observations and Monitoring Pillars. • For WIGOS and WIS – purpose is to enhance the interoperability and availability of high-quality observational data as the foundation for new and improved services. GAW is actively involved in the implementation of both WIS and WIGOS providing insights into best practices related to atmospheric composition observations and data and also to derive benefits from more sustainable and better integrated observational networks; • For WWRP Polar Prediction Project – a multi year research initiative to address the growing requirements for improved weather services on time scales from hours to seasonal in the rapidly changing polar regions. The inclusion of atmospheric composition in the modelling and prediction systems is viewed as a necessity. Improved understanding of processes in polar regions are also expected to have advantages to predictive skills in mid-latitudes.

  22. Some words from the last year document • Considering the observed and projected changes in polar regions, their importance to the global weather and climate system and the emerging needs for new weather and climate services in polar regions, it should be noted that: • GAW is a fundamental programme for building a better understanding of the various feedbacks that occur in polar regions and improving modelling of the weather and climate system; • GAW observation activities are coming under increasing threat (especially in polar regions) due to financial pressure exactly at a time when their value is increasing; • Models being develop for new environmental services in polar regions require comprehensive atmospheric chemistry and aerosol information at higher special resolution
