Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature This meeting: Aims and Objectives Review the role of GHRSST Agree restructure of GHRSST (Review ToR and membership/leadership – should we rotate Chairs?) Review Status of R/GTS Management plan and actions to finish GDS 2.0 Review Symposium conclusions and take action Get your papers into the correct format for the proceedings and pass to me by end of week please

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature GHRSST ST Structure Many people have suggested it is time to reflect on our structure –New groups NASA funded SST Science Team, ERNESST, Others… –Review of Group structure, ToR, Membership, and leadership – New ToR call for rotating chairs (including Me) –2 yr vice chair, 2 year chair as in CEOS? –Need for Simple but effective annual work plans at the TAG level –Review TAG work plans at the annual science team meeting Do we agree on rotating Chairs??

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature New Structure Symposium suggested that we needed to look at the Structure of GHRSST. Have developed a new structure for the WG and TAG

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Status of the R-GTS Excellent! But as we move to GDS-2.0 we must be careful to manage the transition properly JAXA waiting for GDS-2.0 New groups in USA and in EU –Problem with MISST ending? Need better user support Need to use the Advisory Council to ensure that stakeholders are coordinated and supporting

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature GDS 2.0 Good Progress but still lots to do L3U, L3C and L3S agreed – no more L3P! Reviewed Documents during breakout Agreed new documents What about Lake Surface Temperatures? What about the Systems (User Manual, GDAC, LTSRF, DDS, GMPE, MDB) operating and user documents?

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Proposed Approval cycle for GDS 2.0 Bookcaptains of GDS prepare docs ST reviews and endorsed GDS2.0 Convene External Review board (ToR) Board Reviews GDS2.0 Revisions are made and the Science team updates the GDS2.0 accordingly Time line: By end of 2009 –Action: 1. Stand-in GPO coordinator (Craig) will develop a ToR for the GDS2.0 review board and circulate for approval.

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature GDS 2.0 Release Schedule T0, Approve GDS at T0 T0+6 months, GDS2.0 Test Data Set (TDS) files available (1 day 24 hours of data) T0+9 months, Validation Review of TDS T0+12 months, All new products should be in GDS 2.0 T0+18 months, All products in GDS 2.0 T0 should be January 1 st 2010?

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature User Symposium

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Condensed Conclusions (1/3) 1.GHRSST is providing a stable system that is delivering quality data products that are useful. 2.GHRSST User Base is increasing and diversifying We need to recognise that the Users within GHRSST are changing 3.Groups are looking critically at GHRSST data in automated systems 4.But feedback and communications between these groups is not good 5.Validation efforts need to be more coordinated using different data sets 6.GHRSST needs Better Applications User Support (AUS). This will become even more important as more products come online (Documentation) 7.Users want more operational/NRT information on system status (Dashboard)

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Condensed Conclusions (2/3) 8.Several users requested access to long time series data sets 9.We need to encourage more integration of surface winds and SST communities 10.Users request consistent Lake Surface Temperatures in products 11.Users request further work to improve SST’s in marginal ice zone 12.L4 analysis products may be misleading users in terms of resolution Users requested a simple and understandable uncertainty estimate (or Quality Indicator) (e.g. common to all L4: Use “time since last observation”?) 13.GHRSST should provide a framework to keep Regional SST teams and other groups communicating and coordinated at the international level

Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Condensed Conclusions (3/3) Science Team must consider structure of GHRSST: Is it still correct? –Have wired together a system to make new and innovative data sets available –Its there, its working, its not perfect and its never going to be finished! Technology upgrades, new data, new international groups, improved interoperability etc. –Are our Working Groups and Technical advisory groups reflecting the fact that Users need more help and support?
