  1. Group on Earth bservations Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) Reinaldo Silveira Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia Brasilia-Brazil ad-hoc for SGDU of http://earthobservations.org

  2. Group on Earth bservations Is it possible ? A system of systems: • That use ongoing initiatives of modeling/observing earth systems. • Allow archiving/access & exchange of information • Consider user requirements. • Envisage socio-economic benefits. • Designed on international basis and open for all.

  3. Group on Earth bservations Depends on … • Commitment of governments • Efficiency on coordinating different interests • Respecting national data policies • Adequate implementation of such system

  4. Group on Earth bservations Ecosystems Atmosphere Climate Disasters Health Land Earth Observation Elements x Socio-Economic Benefits Ocean

  5. Group on Earth bservations The Earth Observation Summit Washington DC, July 31, 2003 • The Summit represented a high level governmental/political commitment to move toward a comprehensive, coordinated, global network: • Issued declaration to support this concept • Launched development of 10-year implementation plan • Established the ad hoc intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) with 4 Co-Chairs: • U.S. – Vice Admiral Conrad C. Lautenbacher Jr., Administrator National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) • 2) EC – Director General Achilleas Mitsos Directorate General for Research • 3) Japan – Mr. Akio Yuki, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) • 4) South Africa – Dr. Rob Adam, Director-General, Department of Science and Technology

  6. Group on Earth bservations EO Summit Declaration • Affirmed need for timely, quality, long-term, global information as a basis for sound decision making. • Recognized need to support: • Comprehensive, coordinated, sustained Earth observation system of systems; • Coordinated effort to address capacity-building needs related to Earth obs; • Exchange of observations in a full and open manner with minimum time delay and minimum cost; and • Preparation of a 10-year Implementation Plan, building on existing systems and initiatives • Framework for Tokyo ministerial, April or May 2004 • 10-year plan for Brussels ministerial in late 2004. • Established ad hoc Group on Earth Observations (GEO) to develop Plan • Invited governments to join.

  13. Group on Earth bservations Summary of Post GEO-1, GEO-2 and GEO-3 Activity Accomplishments to February, 2004 • Subgroups formed. • Subgroup Terms of Reference established and distributed. • GEO-2 planning begun. • Annotated draft Framework outline issued, including Subgroup assignments. • Subgroups began work by October 1, 2003. • Website and draft GEO briefing package developed. • Secretariat completed a draft introduction and purpose sections of Framework on October 31, 2003. • Secretariat compiled and distributed to members and participants the chapters of first draft framework document on November 14, 2003. • GEO-2 meeting in Italy, November 28-29, 2003. • Updating the Framework Document. • Finalize Sub-Group reports and GEO report. • GEO-3 meeting in Cape Town, February 25-27, 2004. • Preparation for Summit-2

  14. Group on Earth bservations Sketching a GOESS Implementation Planupon data utilization perspective • It will take time to build the Capacity to deliver each Socio-economic benefit, at National level, at Regional level, at Global level • Each GEOSS Societal Benefit requires a specific configuration of Observations, Data Utilisation capabilities, Architectural capabilities. • All the Socio-economic benefits require a shared, and inter-operable, infrastructure of thematic implementations. • The initial implementations (and the build-up phases) for the GEOSS Themes are driven by the • schedules for data availability • schedules for development of data utilisation

  16. Group on Earth bservations The Way Forward • Finalize Sub-Groups reports, which is the technical support for GEOS. • Preparation for GEO-4 Summit-2, Tokyo, April 2004. • Writing up the 10-year Implementation Plan, which will bring the concepts and mechanisms (from technology to political guidance) of GEOSS. • Presenting the Implementation Plan as the main deliverable of GEO, GEO-4 Summit-3.
