  1. SOOS WorkshopHobart, 15 July 2006 The Joint WMO/IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology: Coordinating Operational Oceanography and Marine Meteorology Globally Peter Dexter Co-President of JCOMM

  2. JCOMM Concept and Objectives NWP, maritime services, climate studies, ocean modeling and forecasting, ocean research, all require integrated metocean data and information streams • To address these requirements and realize potential benefits, JCOMM jointly sponsored by WMO and IOC • Combines and benefits from the strengths and expertise of the met. and ocean communities, avoids duplication of effort • User oriented, functions at global, regional and national levels • Integrated marine observing, data management and services system; extensive outreach programme • An implementation mechanism for global GOOS and marine component of WMO GOS

  3. Status, National Input and Support • JCOMM is a coordination mechanism only, working at the intergovernmental level • Established formally in 1999 through the merger of several existing, long-standing bodies of WMO and IOC • Implementation of JCOMM programmes by national agencies and institutions • National representation in the work of JCOMM • Single national focal point and coordinator for JCOMM • High level, to coordinate met and ocean communities and ensure priority and budget for JCOMM activities • National members of the Commission • Technical experts to support JCOMM work nationally • Both met and ocean experts • National representation on expert teams and panels • Technical experts in specific fields covered by JCOMM

  8. Ocean Observing System Coordination • JCOMM directly coordinates major components of the in situ ocean observing system • Ocean data buoys through DBCP and Action Groups, including IPAB, GDP, TIP and OceanSITES • Ship-based observations through SOT: VOS (including VOSClim), SOOP/XBT, ASAP • Sea level observations through GLOSS • Current experimental systems and pilot projects will eventually need to be incorporated under an intergovernmental umbrella • Argo, gliders, tsunameters, etc • Coordination with the satellite operators on data requirements • Coordination with regional elements and programmes • E-SURFMAR, E-ASAP, Ferrybox, GMES • Future coordination with GOOS Regional Alliances • Long-term maintenance of the complete system a key issue • Basic infrastructure required for operational ocean products and services • Key role of JCOMMOPS

  9. JCOMMOPS

  10. System-wide monitoring and performance reporting • Standardized base maps across all networks • Show what is required for global coverage against what is presently in place • Illustrate gaps in coverage so the gaps can be filled efficiently • Show contributions by countries • Provide a single access point through JCOMMOPS

  11. JCOMM Evaluation Metrics Observing System Status: 2005, Q2. Sea Surface Temperature Goal: 100% Global Coverage Drifting Buoys Moored Buoys Ships Total

  15. DM Activities • Marine climatology, climate change monitoring, climate indices • Closer integration with IODE and implementation of pilot projects • E2EDM prototype • Metadata • Data assembly, QC/QA • Participation in broader WMO/IOC DM work • WMO Information Systems development • IOC DM strategy

  16. Maritime Safety Pollution Response Oceanographic Sea Ice information Waves and Surges Services

Services Activities • Expert Team on Maritime Safety Services • Review and tuning of the marine broadcast system for MSS • Establishment of a web site for global real-time MSS • Expert Team on Sea Ice • Management of the Global Digital Sea Ice Data Bank • Sea ice data exchange, formats and nomenclature, products and services • Support for IPY • Expert Team on Waves and Surges • Guide to Storm Surge Forecasting • Wave model verification • Expert Team on Marine Accident Emergency Support • MPERSS operational • Future Ocean Products and Services • OceanOPS 04 and GODAE Symposium • TT/OPD to address JCOMM recommendations on ocean products and services development

  18. JCOMM Priorities 06-09 • Operational ocean products and services • Recommendations from JCOMM 2 • TT/OPD with GODAE • DPM and marine multi-hazard warning services • Full implementation of operational ocean observing system • Long-term maintenance of pilots • Key ocean satellite missions • Follow-up to IPY • Support for coastal GOOS implementation • DM pilot projects and integration with IODE and WIS • Focused CB to support implementation • Regional development projects • Hands on workshops, applications • Involvement of smaller maritime countries • Engagement with the private sector

  19. Operational Ocean Products and Services • Operational ocean products and services • TT/OPD with GODAE to address the JCOMM 2 recommendations and transition research to an operational environment • Many NMS already involved, usually in collaboration with national ocean agencies • Operational data assimilation to generate analysis and forecast products of value to a wide user community

  20. JCOMM, the Southern Ocean and the IPY • Existing JCOMM involvement in S. Ocean • Primarily operational, physical ocean and marine meteorology • DBCP: S. Ocean barometer drifter network; IPAB; JCOMMOPS support • SOT: SOOP, VOS, WRAP • Maritime safety services; sea ice services • The IPY and its legacy • Potential support for observation campaigns – communications, logistics, JCOMMOPS • Willing to work with IPY projects to develop plans for long-term maintenance of obs. system components of proven value to operational oceanography and climate monitoring/prediction • Eventual intergovernmental umbrella for operational ocean observing system and services for S. Ocean • Stress implementation by national agencies; JCOMM provides coordination, standardization, facilitation, reporting, advocacy

  21. JCOMM and SOOS • Areas of potential support and cooperation between JCOMM and a future SOOS include: • Communications for data collection and location – Argos, Iridium, etc • Logistics for platform and instrument deployment and maintenance • Data exchange, especially real time (protocols, codes, formats, etc) – some capabilities already exist for non-physical data, and can be readily expanded • Data management, through JCOMM/IODE – again, there is some existing capability for non-physical data, which can be built on • JCOMMOPS for system and data flow monitoring, metadata, technical support • Possible intergovernmental level support
