  1. WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Programme In The Context Of Integrated Global CO2 Observations Leonard Barrie Chief, Environment Division, WMO Lbarrie@wmo.int Search Engine “GAW”  www.wmo.ch/web/arep/gaw/gaw_home.html Evergreen Workshop 19-20 January 2006 KNMI, de Bilt Netherlands

  2. What Do These Systematic CO2 ObservationsHave In Common? Commercial Aircraft Future: MOZAIC Commercial Aircraft JAL Satellites- not originally dedicated: SCIAMACHY - dedicated and future :GOSAT, OCO • All measure CO2 (total column, vertical profile, surface in situ) • Each have own data centre(s) • Each have own quality assurance programmes • Missing a total column network. • Currently not well coordinated with each other Observations: All Sources WMO-GAW Global CO2 Monitoring Network of GCOS

  3. A More Systematic Approach To Integration of Atmospheric Chemistry Observations Is Needed Evergreen Workshop 19-20 January 2006 KNMI, de Bilt Netherlands

  4. Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS) Partnership • Themes • Ocean • Global Carbon Cycle (IGCO) • Global Water Cycle (IGWCO) • Geo-Hazards • •Atmospheric Chemistry (IGACO) • • Coastal (incl. Coral-Reef) • • Land • • …… Evergreen Workshop 19-20 January 2006 KNMI, de Bilt Netherlands

  9. What is GAW? • WMO/GAW was established 1989 by merging GO3OS and BAPMoN. • GAW focuses on global networks for GHGs, ozone, UV, aerosols, selected reactive gases, and precipitation chemistry. • GAW is a partnership involving contributors from 80 countries. • GAW is coordinated by the Environment Division of WMO/AREP. • Currently GAW coordinates activities and data from 23 global stations, 637 regional stations, and 19 contributing and associate stations Evergreen Workshop 19-20 January 2006 KNMI, de Bilt Netherlands

  10. The GAW Mission • Systematic Global Monitoring Of Chemical Composition of the Atmosphere. • Analysis and Assessment in Support of International Conventions. • Development Of Air Pollution and Climate Predictive Capability Evergreen Workshop 19-20 January 2006 KNMI, de Bilt Netherlands

  11. October 2006 GCOS-GAW Agreement establishing the: WMO/GAW Global Atmospheric CO2 & CH4 Monitoring Network as a Comprehensive Network of GCOS Evergreen Workshop 19-20 January 2006 KNMI, de Bilt Netherlands

  18. The Role Of The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) • As the lead agency designated by IGOS to implement IGACO, WMO shall use its unique international experience, programmes and partnerships to build a generally accepted global plan and to promote implementation through bottom-up research efforts at the national and regional level. • IGACO builds on GAW, other WMO programmes and partnerships. It bridges surface-based, aircraft and satellite observations to the weather forecast and modelling research community. Evergreen Workshop 19-20 January 2006 KNMI, de Bilt Netherlands
