  1. GCOS Implementation Manager’s Report CLIMAT/CLIMAT TEMP Workshop Casablanca Dec 2005 Richard K. Thigpen GCOS Secretariat Geneva, Switzerland

  2. GCOS GSN Baseline Network About 1000 Stations Roughly 150-300 Km Spacing Mandatory Requirements Monthly CLIMAT Report of Mean Temps, Precip amount Target Requirements Daily Temp, Precip, Pressure

  3. GCOS GSN Baseline Network Long History of Operations NMS Acceptance/Agreement Historical Data in Archive 80- 90 % of Network Stations meet Minimum Requirements Biggest Problem: Lack of CLIMAT and Historical Data

  4. GCOS GSN Baseline Network Monitoring Centers: DWD (Precipitation) JMA (Temperature) Based on CLIMAT reports Lead Center and Archive NCDC Reports of daily, monthly, historical at http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/gcos GCOS Home Page: http://www.wmo.ch/web/gcos/gcoshome.hmtl

  5. GSN Activities • Completed First Review of GSN Performance • Many Stations Working but no CLIMAT • Still Missing Many in Archive • WWW Prepared CLIMAT/TEMP Handbook • GCOS/WCP Prepared CLIREP Software

  6. GSN Stations

  7. GSN Performance Around 10 % No CLIMAT 6% “Silent” 2% Working Poorly 4% Reporting CLIMAT Only

  8. Reasons for no CLIMAT Station Does not Prepare CLIMAT Use GCOS/WCP CLIREP S/W Station Prepares but not Received Verify WMO Pub 9 Vol A Verify WMO Pub 9 Vol C1 GTS RTH Routing Verify RTH Routing Tables Contact a Lead Center or Me!

  9. GSN Stations in Daily Archive

  10. Reasons for No Data in Archive Did Not Know That Data is needed? Send to Archive at NCDC Data Not in Suitable Form? Data Rescue a Possibility Not Willing to Share Data? Why?

  11. GSN Projects/Activities CLIREP S/W Training With WWW Planning Series of Workshops First was in Moscow, Now in Casablanca, South America next?, Others? Major GSN Changes from Canada, Russia Better distribution of Stations and Data

  12. GCOS GUAN Baseline Network About 150 Stations Uniform Global Distribution (5-10 Deg) Minimum Requirement At least 25 soundings/month to 100HPa Temp, Humidity, Wind Speed and Direction Target requirement Temp, Wind, Humidity to 5HPa CLIMAT TEMP

  13. GCOS GUAN Baseline Network Monitoring Centers: ECMWF (TEMP) UK Met Office Hadley Center (CLIMAT TEMP) Quality Reports: ECMWF and NCEP Lead Center and Archive NCDC Same Internet Addresses

  14. Number of Silent GUAN

  15. Performance Reports DWD/JMA for GSN (CLIMAT) Includes QC Reports Hadley Center (UKMO) for CLIMAT TEMP NCDC for GSN, GUAN ECMWF and NCEP for GUAN near real time Most Can be Obtained Through GCOS Home Page
