THE GLOBAL ATMOSPHERE WATCH PROGRAMME (GAW) Doc 4.3(4)
Oksana Tarasova WMO; Research
2
Global Atmosphere Watch Programme: observations and data
atmospheric composition variables component of WIGOS high quality large gaps in the network Integrating different platforms Data: Required on timely basis to support service provision Required in NRT for some applications WMO; Research
3
Application areas and modelling
Need for improved modelling capacity Dedicated team on atmospheric composition forecasting Three new application areas for atmospheric composition measurements Support of majority of WMO application areas Modelling activities to be fostered through enhanced collaboration with WWRP and WCRP (including Sand and Dust storms forecasting and GURME) WMO, Research
4
Atmospheric composition and climate
An Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System (IG3IS): Scientific tool for independent quantification of GHG sources and sinks Service supporting GFCS Draft Res. 4.3(4)/1 (Cg-17) – Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System Relevance of atmospheric aerosol observations: support volcanic ash assessment [Cg-17/Doc. 3.1(2)] Satellite products verification WMO, Research
5
Atmospheric composition, health and ecosystems
Short-lived climate pollutants (reactive gases and aerosols) impact human health (WHO Resolution 2015), collaboration with Climate and Clean Air Coalition Atmospheric deposition impacts ecosystem Need for improved collaboration with agricultural meteorology Joint work with GESAMP (UN joint working group) on ocean productivity based on voluntary contribution WMO, Research
6
Support of Conventions
Ozone Depletion Assessment and the role of long-term continuous time series of total ozone and vertical ozone profiles, supported through voluntary contributions (Vienna Convention Trust Fund for Research and Systematic Observations) Research on UV radiation, in particular through a collaboration with World Health Organization (WHO) and International Commission on Illumination (CIE). WMO, Research
7
Capacity development and outreach
Ongoing efforts on observational capacity building Support of Germany since 2001 the GAW Training and Education Centre (GAWTEC) Important publications by the GAW Programme (including Greenhouse Gas Bulletin and Antarctic Ozone Bulletins) Draft Res 4.3(4)/2 (Cg-17) on the major aspects of the GAW Programme WMO, Research
