© Crown copyright Met Office Note ~ 39 ships send obs using TurboWin Upgrading VOS to VOSClim VOSCLIM Definition A mobile ship station equipped with sufficient certified meteorological instruments for making observations, transmits regular and timely weather reports, enters the observations in an International Maritime Meteorological Tape (IMMT) compliant electronic logbook and has a proven record of providing high quality observations. A VOSClim ship should have at least a barometer, a thermometer to measure SST, a psychrometer (for air temperature and humidity), a barograph and possibly an anemometer. The full range of metadata must be maintained in WMO No. 47, ideally including the full suite of digital images, sketches and drawings must be available, and the delayed-mode IMMT data must be submitted to the Global Collecting Centres (GCCs) according to the procedures described in Chapter 3 of this guide. It is highly desirable for a VOSClim ship to be inspected at less than six monthly intervals.

© Crown copyright Met Office Observations from the VOS not only provide vital input to NWP models, but are also increasingly important for improving the quality of climate models. Recognising the need for a high quality marine meteorological data set to assist with climate studies, the WMO initiated the international VOS Climate (VOSClim) Project. VOSClim data also acts as a reference data set for the wider VOS fleet and can also be used to provide ground truth for calibrating satellite observations. In view of the success of the VOSClim project JCOMM decided to integrate VOS Climate ships as a new class of observing ship within the wider International VOS Scheme. ~ 39 ships send obs using TurboWin Upgrading VOS to VOSClim Background

© Crown copyright Met Office The Met Office has decided to take a proactive role by enhancing the volume of available VOS climate data and associated metadata, provided by UK observing ships. To achieve this objective a 3 year implementation plan has been proposed to re-balance the UK manual observing fleet to focus on the higher VOS climate standards An initial target has already been set - and now reached - for a mean of 50 UK observing ships to be actively participating as VOS Climate class ships during FY (a ship being considered as active if it produces an average of 20 observations per month). TurboWin Upgrading VOS to VOSClim UK Plans

© Crown copyright Met Office Note ~ 39 ships send obs using TurboWin Upgrading VOS to VOSClim The aim is to move to a core UK fleet of 200 actively reporting VOS Climate standard ships within a 3 year time frame - to replace the existing ‘Selected’ class ships UK PMO’s are progressively upgrading existing ships that can demonstrate that they will produce observations of sufficient number and quality, and will recruit suitable new observing ships where necessary. Ships that fail to meet the required criteria for climate observing, or which fail to submit the required number of observations, are being progressively withdrawn. using TurboWin UK Plans

© Crown copyright Met Office Note ~ 39 ships send obs using TurboWin Upgrading VOS to VOSClim The manually reporting UK fleet will reduce from 320 ‘Selected’ VOS to 200 ‘VOSClim’ - all equipped with TurboWin logbooks This manually reporting VOSClim fleet will compliment, and add value to the shipborne Automatic Weather Stations (AWS). In 3 years time we aim to have deployed ~ 50 autonomous shipborne AWS systems providing hourly observations VOSClim ships provide the full range of ship coded weather reports, including the visual observations of sea state, ice conditions, cloud and past/present weather that are not available from the majority of AWS. Ships fitted with AWS sensors will only be considered for VOSClim if they have a facility for manually adding the visually observed elements. UK Plans
