WMO WMO INTEGRATED GLOBAL OBSERVING SYSTEM (WIGOS) Cg-17, Agenda Dr S. Barrell, Chair, ICG-WIGOS WMO; OBS

 A framework for integrating WMO observing systems and contributions to co-sponsored observing systems  … for planning, operating and delivering observations to meet user needs, to enable more efficient and effective service delivery.  WIGOS includes observing components of:  Global Observing System (WWW/GOS)  Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW)  WMO Hydrological Observing Systems (WHOS)  Global Cryosphere Watch (GCW) Including  Surface-based and space-based components  WMO, co-sponsors and partners What is WIGOS?

WIGOS Framework  At its simplest, the WIGOS framework is about: Documenting and implementing standard and recommended practices and procedures in making and sharing observations, Coordination and collaboration for efficiency and effectiveness, Integration and interoperability in all senses, Timely delivery of observations that meet user needs in a way they can use them, Empowering and extending the reach of NMHSs, reinforcing their leadership and building partnerships with contributors & users of observations, Delivering value through sharing, management and use of observations

Next step: WIGOS Pre-operational Phase Regulatory & Guidance Material Information Resource (WIR) Data quality monitoring system Regional WIGOS Centres National WIGOS implementation WMO priorities DRRGFCSPolarAviation WIGOS framework WIGOS Pre-operational Phase

Why a WIGOS Pre-operational Phase?  Staged approach – now need to build on the framework  Full operation is an ongoing task  Needs commitment and resources at all levels  Regulatory material and guidance  use  Build culture of compliance  Integrate observations from non-NMHS sources  Both a partnering and integration challenge  Data challenges  Lifecycle data management  Volume, diversity and immediacy  Practical guidance

Plan for WIGOS Pre-operational Phase  Objective of the WIGOS Pre-operational Phase  To build on and strengthen the WIGOS framework to deliver a fully operational WIGOS in 2020;  To place increased emphasis on regional and national activities.  Five priority areas: 1.National WIGOS implementation 2.Regional WIGOS Centers 3.WIGOS Information Resource 4.WIGOS Data Quality Monitoring System 5.WIGOS Regulatory and Guidance Material  ICG-WIGOS to prepare draft PWPP for EC-68

WIGOS: Integral part of NMHS and key enabler of their value proposition + National societal needs WIGOS

Conclusions  WIGOS to be implemented by Cg18  But achieving full operation and compliance will be ongoing  WIGOS, with its strong and evolving foundation, will:  Build on Regulatory Material (Phase 1), WIGOS Metadata, WIR and other building blocks;  Enable WMO to assist and guide Members, in context of all WMO priorities (DRR, GFCS, etc)  Enable RAs to support and evolve observing and service capacities within their region  Empower Members  to design, evolve and sustain integrated observing systems that meet national needs; and  To reinforce their national mandate and leadership, under WIGOS, WIS and WMO banners
