  1. JOINT WMO/IOC TECHNICAL COMMISSION FOR OCEANOGRAPHY AND MARINE METEOROLOGY The Future of Operational Oceanography Peter Dexter

  2. OUTLINE • JCOMM concept and objectives • Requirements and scientific guidance • Structure and operations • Programme Area highlights • Observations • Data management • Services • Capacity building • Future priorities

  3. JCOMM Concept and Objectives • An intergovernmental body of technical experts • Combines the strengths and expertise of the meteorological and oceanographic communities • Jointly sponsored by WMO and IOC • Operates at global, regional and national levels • User oriented • Integrated marine observing, data management and services system • Extensive outreach programme • Primary implementation mechanism for global GOOS

  4. Requirements and Interactions • Ongoing support for and response to WWW • Maintenance of the marine component of the GOS • Maritime safety services • Specialized services and products to marine users • Primary implementation mechanism for GOOS • Requirements set by OOPC and COOP • Cross representation, GSC, OOPC, COOP, Management Committee • Support of the GOOS regional offices • Support for GCOS • AOPC and OOPC • Interactions with CIMO, CCl, TCP • Marine climate, instrument testing, storm surges • Joint TC activities (primarily CAgM and CHy plus some RAs) • Marine Impacts on coastal Lowland Agriculture and Coastal Resources

  5. National Input and Support • JCOMM as coordination mechanism only • 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 • Head of national delegation at formal JCOMM sessions • 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

  31. Build Infrastructure Education Training Capacity Building

  32. Capacity Building Highlights • JCOMM to participate in the work of GOOS to develop a communications strategy, which could then also be used as the basis of a related JCOMM communications strategy • Regional requirements surveys and the development of regional priorities for CB in support of JCOMM • Procedures for evaluating the effectiveness of CB activities • Development of new regional CB projects • Work of the Task Team on Resources • Catalogue of possible funding sources for JCOMM CB • Assistance in drafting major CB projects • Contacts with potential funding bodies • Planned merger with GOOS CB Panel

  33. WIOMAP • Maritime safety and transport • Natural disaster prevention • Global climate

  34. Project structure • Primary focus on marine/ocean services • Regional human resource development • Observing network & marine communications enhancement • Data Management • Network of regional marine applications centres • Close coordination with existing regional projects and programmes including GOOS Africa and IOGOOS

  35. Other Activities of Interest • JCOMM brochure • Training Workshop on Wave and Surge Forecasting, June ’03 • SOT, VOSCLIM, PMO meetings, July ’03 • New Technical Developments in Sea and Land Level Observing Systems with GLOSS, Oct ‘03 • CLIMAR-II & 150th Anniversary, Brussels November 2003 • Toulouse ocean products and MPERSS workshops May 2004 • JCOMM-II, Halifax, September 2005 and associated scientific conference

  36. Future Priorities (1) • Long-term maintenance of the JCOMM electronic products bulletin • Implementation of observing system performance metrics • Co-ordinated instrumentation testing programmes and documentation • Enhancement of JCOMMOPS • Operational VOSClim data and metadata delivery • Development and implementation of new regional projects

  37. Future Priorities (2) • Full implementation of MPERSS • New ocean products and services • Full implementation of requirements for in situ observations for climate • Enhanced coordination and interaction with ocean satellite operators, development of new satellite data products • Finalization of JCOMM data management strategy • Implementation of Ocean Information Technology pilot projects • New electronic and web-based training tools • Enhanced training in ocean satellite data and products, coordinated with the WMO Virtual Laboratory programme • Enhanced involvement of smaller maritime countries in the work of JCOMM
