1. World Meteorological Organization Working together in weather, climate and water WMO OMM WMO www.wmo.int/sat Barbara J. Ryan Director, WMO Space Programme Progress Report on Development of a Space- based Architecture for Climate Monitoring CM-11, Item 6

2. WMO OMM Motivation Policy framework in place (UNFCCC, IPCC reports) -- expectations are high Emerging national and international efforts for climate services will bring additional demands Space-agency investments have been considerable, and need to be leveraged There are still observational gaps and risks of gaps Contingency measures exist for weather observations -- still relatively lacking for climate observations Greater coordination is needed in a resource-constrained environment Long-term and sustained observations will require additional resources

4. WMO OMM Satellite Missions in the Vision for the GOS in 2025 Transition from R&D to operational status GEO: imager, HS IR sounder, lightning Sun-synchronous: imager, IR/MW sounders Ocean surface topography constellation Radio-Occultation Sounding constellation Ocean Surface Wind constellation Global Precipitation constellation Earth Radiation Budget (incl. GEO) Atmospheric Composition (incl. GEO) Ocean colour and vegetation imaging Dual-angle view IR imagery Synthetic Aperture Radar Land Surface Imaging Space Weather VIS/IR imagers in HEO Doppler wind LIDAR, Low-frequency MW GEO MW GEO High-resolution narrow-band imagers Gravimetric sensors Heritage operational missions Operational pathfinders and demonstrators

6. WMO OMM Great Advances in Global and Regional Weather Forecasts

7. WMO OMM And will the end-to-end system exist to generate the measurements for a climate analog? Anomaly correlation of seasonal forecasts? Correlation of sea-level rise? ? Will There be a Climate Analog?

8. WMO OMM CM-11 is Invited to: Note development of an initial WMO concept document (v.1.1) for an architecture for climate monitoring from space Note progress on collaborative efforts to prepare a report describing a coordinated strategy for an architecture for climate monitoring from space Review draft Resolution (3.7/1) for consideration by the Sixteenth Session of the WMO Congress (Cg-XVI)
