14. Major Objectives in CDOP • Production of long homogeneous climate data records (TCDR) for a couple of parameters based on fundamental radiance records (FCDR); • Extension of spatial coverage from regional to global where appropriate; • Addition of products to facilitate an improved understanding of the energy and water cycle; • Enhance the support for the user community using the products for climate monitoring and climate research.

16. User Training Activities • This package aims at networking with existing training projects like EUMETCAL, EUMeTrain, etc. to support the education of met services traditional climatologists; • The package consists of elements like: • Active training will be performed by user workshops (3 + 1) and road shows; • Provision of overview presentations/lessons for the WMO CLIPS curriculum; • Provision of example data sets including interpretation guidelines based on tools developed in the data analysis package; • Basic and important knowledge about the climate system will be provided to the user by the development of e-learning modules in the style of the GLOBE project (www.globe.gov).

19. CM-SAF: Schedule & Versions CM-SAF has the mandate to generate thematic climate data records in an operational off - line environment. It requires calibrated and cross calibrated radiance data sets from different satellite operators.

27. GMES – CM-SAF Thoughts on products • European Climate Map derived from satellite data ECM(climate maps exist at almost all NMHS’s but typically without using sat data) • Consistent Data Set of Earth-Atmosphere parameters CDSland surface + aerosols ? + clouds + trace gases + radiation budget • European Klima-Michel (fed by satellite data) EKMclimate model of man for different regions in Europe (needs adaptations) • “Going global and back in time” GLO(extension of CM-SAF area in space and time)

38. CDOP Plan

39. Major Objectives in CDOP • Production of long homogeneous climate data records (TCDR) for a couple of parameters based on fundamental radiance records (FCDR); • Extension of spatial coverage from regional to global where appropriate; • Addition of products to facilitate an improved understanding of the energy and water cycle; • Enhance the support for the user community using the products for climate monitoring and climate research.

40. Production of Long Time Series (CDRs) • Global AVHRR cloud and surface radiation products based on Patmos-X GAC starting 1982 (partnership with U. Wisc.); • Water vapour products from polar orbiters including ATOVS, IASI, PMW plus inclusion of GOME-2 and GRAS via federation activity (several periods, shortest for EPS); • SEVIRI+GERB cloud, radiation (top + surface), and vertical resolved water vapour products (2004-2010); • MVIRI surface radiation fluxes using Heliosat method; • Import and continuation of mature research products: • FTH from LMD, Paris, France (1983 – 2010) • HOAPS from Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany (1987 – 2010)

42. Calibration/Intercalibration to produce FCDRs • Calibration/intercalibration is of paramount importance for CM-SAF! • CM-SAF relies on activities of EUMETSAT, NOAA, and potential CGMS activities as GSICS; • However, CM-SAF plans for monitoring activities: • Aging of visible channels employing Heliosat method; • Monitoring of calibration performance employing reference sites instruments and dedicated long term field experiments (AMMA in Africa, COPS in Germany); • CM-SAF will do own intercalibration where complementary to EUMETSAT: • Intercalibration of SSM/I, SSMIS, TMI, etc. imager channels (potential federate act. between OSI-SAF and CM-SAF); • MVIRI to SEVIRI homogenisation employing LMD method.

43. Global and new products • Global TOA product using five geostationary platforms calibrated by CERES (RMIB); • Air-sea flux EDR based on HOAPS technology but using OSI-SAF SST and ice coverage (DWD). • Enhancements of cloud products as ice water path (KNMI); • Aerosol optical depth from SEVIRI over ocean (RMIB), additional federate activity with Ozone SAF on AOT over land and type from GOME-2, AVHRR; • Experimental precipitation product over land; collaboration with IPWG and H-SAF (DWD).
