- CEOP -Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period

• Purpose of CEOP Provide data for water and
  energy cycle research.
• Primary data period Oct. 1, 2002 Dec. 31,
  2004.
• The purpose of WTF-CEOP to provide services to
  CEOP scientists for data discovery, data access
  and data integration.

CEOP Data(In-situ Data from 35 Reference Sites)

• Four types of CEOP in-situ data
• Surface (19 variables)
• Tower (9 variables)
• Soil (temperature, moisture)
• Flux (Sensible Heat, Latent Heat, CO2, Soil Heat
  Flux)

5
CEOP Data(Satellite)
250 km x 250 km subset scenes, regridded to
Lat/Lon grid, centered over the 35 in-situ data
sites. (also Monsoon areas and global data, not
on JAXA Prototype System)
Satellite data from JAXA, NASA, ESA and Eumetsat

CEOP Data(Model Output Data)

• NWP Numerical Weather Prediction data
• MOLTS Model Output Location Time Series (time
  series at model grid point nearest center of
  in-situ data sites).
• Gridded Model Output 2D/3D time series.
• Major National and Multi-National Centers
• BoM, CPTEC, ECMWF, ECPC, JMA, DAO, GLDAS, NCEP,
  NCMRWF, UKMO
• Archived at the Max Planck Institute

7
CEOP Phase-2 Concept (1/2)

• CEOP has entered Phase-2
• Phase-1 (through 2004, end of main data period)
• Main effort was on collecting data
• Science application groups were organized
• Phase-2 (20052010) emphasis is on research and
  system expansion to meet commitments to
• CEOS/IGOS-P Water Theme
• WCRP/COPES
• GEOSS

8
CEOP Phase-2 Concept (2/2)

• CEOP Phase-2 will have 2 parts (follows the same
  schedule as GEOSS)
• Part-I (2005-2006)
• Apply CEOP Phase-I datasets to accomplish Phase-I
  research goals.
• Build the framework for a water cycle data
  system.
• Part-II (2007-2010)
• Implement water cycle data system defined in
  Part-I.
• Advance research in areas defined in the CEOP
  project (e.g. climate modeling, monsoon studies,
  cold climates, extreme weather events and
  aerosols).

WTF-CEOP Project2 Prototyping Activities

• 1. JAXA Prototype System
• Provides data discovery, data access and data
  integration of CEOP data.
• Described in WTF-CEOP Implementation Plan 1.
• 2. NASA Prototype System
• Provide a bridge between OPeNDAP formatted data
  requests and OGC WCS servers.

10
Meetings (since WGISS-21)

• Teleconference 2 times
• JAXA-NASA Face to Face meeting
• Sep.7 8 _at_GMU
• Fruitful discussion especially on future work
  plan (next steps for prototypes).

11
Contribution to GEO (1/5)

• Contribution to GEO 2006 Workplan
• As a response to WGISS-21 A/I 21-5, WTF-CEOP TT
  identified 4 tasks as possible WTF-CEOP TT
  contribution tasks
• WA-06-05
• WA-06-06
• WA-06-07
• AR-06-02

12
Contribution to GEO (2/5)

• Contribution to GEO 2007-2009 Workplan
• WTF-CEOP TT propose to support the following
  tasks.
• WA-06-05
• WA-06-07
• WA-07-P2

Contribution to GEO (3/5)
WA-06-05 In-situ water resource monitoring
Initiate the creation of a coordination
mechanism within GEO for global in-situ water
observations, including ocean observations, and
advocate synergy and sharing of infrastructure
among observing systems. The current water cycle
observation capability is inadequate for
monitoring long-term changes in the global water
system and their feedback into the climate
system, and the lack of and inaccessibility of
crucial data is also a major constraint for
sustainable development of water resources and
improvement of water management practices. In
addition to filling gaps in measurement
capability, interoperability of observing
systems, and standardization of metadata for data
sharing, progress in product development of the
global near real-time river runoff network,
advocate sharing of telecommunication
infrastructure and joint know-how are important
goals that need to be reached within the next few
years.

• Experience in building WTF-CEOP Prototype may
  become contribution to this?

14
Contribution to GEO (4/5)
WA-06-07 Capacity building program in Latin
America Initiate a capacity building program in
Latin America to develop tools for using remote
sensing data in support of water management, and
to show the value of Earth observations generally
in water resource management. A capacity
building program in Latin America, focused on the
use of Earth observation data for water resources
management, will be running for the next years.

• WTF-CEOP Prototype may be an example of how to
  use EO data for water resource management?

15
Contribution to GEO (5/5)
WA-07-P2 Satellite Water Measurements Develop
an operational mechanism to provide water level
observations in rivers, lakes/reservoirs and
estuaries from satellite altimetry to support the
upgrade of deficient run-off water gauge
networks. Combine different types of satellite
data that are relevant for water measurements
(quantity and quality) with in-situ observations
for better accuracy and global coverage. Produce
an implementation plan for a broad global water
cycle data integration system that combines
in-situ, satellite data and model outputs.

• WTF-CEOP system is a prototype of a global water
  cycle data integration system ?
