  3. 2.1 Goals of the Meeting

  4. OCG-II Each programme brings itsunique strengths and limitations. Together they are building a global ocean observing system.OCG-II focus on coordination and cross-cutting solutions to multiple-user requirements. Satellite Remote Sensing Requirements Data Assimilation and Modeling Capacity Building DMPA SPA

  5. OCG Terms of Reference • Keep under review and advise on the effectiveness, coordination and operation of the observations work programme, including performance measured against scientific requirements, delivery of raw data, measurement standards, logistics and resources; • Provide advice to JCOMM and to Observation Teams on possible solutions for newly identified requirements, consulting as appropriate with relevant scientific groups and CBS; • Review in situ data requirements and recommend changes as appropriate, taking into account the continuing development of satellite observations and their capabilities; • Coordinate the development of standardized, high quality observing practices and instrumentation and prepare recommendations for JCOMM; • With the concurrence of the co-presidents of JCOMM, establish and create Expert Teams, Task Teams, Pilot Projects and appoint Rapporteurs, as appropriate, to undertake the work of the Observations Programme Area; • Examine trade-offs and use of new and improved techniques/developments against requirements and available resources; • Liaise with and input to CBS activities regarding the consolidated requirements database and operational satellites; • Identify capacity building requirements related to the Programme Area. • Identify satellite remote sensing requirements in the meteorological and ocean domains related to the Programme Area.

  33. Designed especially for reporting contributions by Countries. • Example: Australia had 141 Platforms reporting during the past month

  34. Services • Issue (possible future capability): • SPA graphic entry point for met-ocean services. • Graphic entry point for port met offices and National contacts.

  35. Test Version 2.00 beta: www.jcommops.org/network_status • By May 1: • OceanSITES from spread sheet. • - Need GTS for real-time display. • Tide gauges from UHSLC real-time system. • Rubber banding for regional display.

  36. 4.8 Crosscutting Issues

  37. 4.8 Crosscutting Issues • OceanSITES -- DBCP Action Group and/or JCOMM affiliated implementation panel • DBCP invite the International Tsunameter Coordination Group to become an Action Group. • OceanSITES real-time data on the GTS: • Issues: 1) withholding validation data from assimilation schemes; 2) broad use of real-time data; 3) observing system monitoring, e.g., OSMC • Options: 1) data flag; 2) bulletin header: 3) list of WMO IDs provided to users • JCOMM as partner in GOOS Regional Alliances; e.g., Arctic GOOS • GLOSS needs: • A system monitoring activity. • Regional traveling technician support (beyond the Australia and UHSLC programs). • Argo needs: • Sustained funding • Ship deployment opportunities • Coordination of hydrography programs

  38. 4.8 Crosscutting Issues (Continued) • OceanSITES needs: • Reliability, calibration, inter-calibration of sensors. • Sensor-to-sensor-to-DCP communication protocols. • Satellite communications telemetry -- JTA including Argos and others? • Data from all systems, availability through a single service portal. • Sustained support. • Should JCOMM send representatives at science meetings? • IOCCP needs: • Single data information portal. • Tracking/coordinating repeat non-carbon hydrography obs (e.g. Tropical Moored Buoy deployments). • Observation support center. • OOPC needs: • Continued pressure to meet implementation targets. • Observing system support center. • Surface salinity pilot project.
