Application Areas – Background (1) test footer 18 WIGOS Applications: Global numerical weather prediction (GNWP); High-resolution numerical weather prediction (HRNWP); Nowcasting and very short range forecasting (NVSRF); Seasonal and inter-annual forecasting (SIAF); Aeronautical meteorology; Atmospheric chemistry; Ocean applications; Agricultural meteorology; Hydrology; Climate monitoring (as undertaken through the Global Climate Observing System, GCOS); Climate applications; and Space weather. In addition, the observational requirements for WMO polar activities and the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) are also to be considered under WIGOS.

GAW SIP – “Research Enabling Services” test footer 20 SSC initially identified priority services as those related to climate, high impact weather, urban (air quality/health), ecosystems, and support of conventions.

DWD Met. Observatory Hohenpeißenberg, September 15 page 21 Ordering applications as a function of timeliness of GAW data Separates climate (long-term) applications from all other (short-time) applications Long-term: „Climate mode“ - Protocol and convention monitoring - Policy/Political issues - Assessments - validation of reanalysis runs - inverse modelling - surface flux verification Short-term: „NRT mode“ - AQ forecasts (regional/global) - data assimilation - forecast/analysis validation - health - bio-aerosols - events (volcanoes, dust) - GHGs and agriculture - high impact weather - support of renewable energy
