• Summary Proceedings of IOGOOS-VI the Sixth
  Annual Meeting of the Indian Ocean Global Ocean
  Observing System
• Hyderabad, India
• 3-5 December 2008
• DRAFT REPORT
• pending finalisation by IOGOOS Secretariat
• Issues relating to IOP unlikely to change from
  the draft

3
Report on IOGOOSs endorsement(ref IOGOOS-VI,
Dec 2008)regarding the development of an IRF
4

• Who is to develop/structure the IRF??
• With respect to the actual working function of
  the IRF, IOGOOS members were comfortable for the
  IOP to decide on its own modus operandi.

5

• IRF ToR
• The Chair requested that IOP finalise the Terms
  of Reference for the IRF to be as submitted to
  the IOGOSS-VI meeting, but with Section 5.4 of
  the draft ToR changed to
• 5.4 IOGOOS will seek Secretariat support for the
  Forum from the UNESCO IOC Perth Regional
  Programme Office.
• Yukio has distributed the draft ToR via email.

6

• IRF Secretariat issues for consideration
• Budget? IOP needs to estimate the IRF resourcing
  requirements
• Leadership? Suggest we have an IRF Director
• Governance? IOGOOS sees the IRF as an organ of
  IOGOOS, established to facilitate IOP
• Funding? IOC Perth will provide funding
  (amount?) ... For the IRF Secretariat support
• Economies? Desirable to harmonise meetings of
  IOP and IRF (and High Level Review Panels) to
  rationalise costs

7

•  
• Development of IRF Business Plan
• The Chair requested, through the IOP Co-Chair, Dr
  Masumoto, that IOP have the Business Plan for the
  IRF ready for consideration by IOGOOS, at the
  next IOGOOS meeting.
• Note IOGOOS Chair indicated that IOGOOS is keen
  to have the IRF Business Plan developed and
  finalised in a timely manner, out of session ....
  i.e., during the intervening period between IOP-6
  and IOGOOS-7 (ie over the next 2-3 months).

8

• Timing of IOP-7, IRF-1, IOGOOS-7, HLRP-3
• If feasible, IOGOOS would like to see a combined
  meeting of
• IOGOOS-7
• IOP-7
• IRF-1
• IOP High Level Review Panel- 3
• Considering likely cross-attendance of
  individuals at these meetings, to reduce overall
  costs
• Meet during March/April 2010 ??
• ? equal displacement of IOGOOS-7 and IOP-7
  timelines
• Venue to be decided
• ? Iran offered to host IOGOOS-7
• ? IOC Perth also offered (can also host all 4
  together)

9

• Note a specific recommended action for IOP
  arising out of IOGOOS-7
• Undertake an internal review and prioritization
  of the needs of the respective ocean observing
  components of IndOOS, with a view to having the
  priorities and associated needs for enhancement
  of those components submitted to the 1st meeting
  of the proposed IRF.

10

• Now or later during this meeting ...
• Discuss IOP process for development of Business
  Plan
• Discuss potential for joint meetings
• (IOGOOS-7, IOP-7, IRF-1, HLRP-3)
• and venue

Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System
13
Global network of Tsunami Warning Systems
Several countries are members of more than one
Tsunami Warning System (e.g. Australia and
Malaysia)
14
26 December 2004
IOC invited to lead establishment of a Tsunami
Early Warning System
28 member countries contribute to the
Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the
Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation
System (ICG/IOTWS)
15
End-to-End system
16
ICG/IOTWS What is the system?

• The System must be
• Fully owned by Indian Ocean countries
• Based on international and multilateral
  cooperation
• Based on open and free data exchange
• Protect all countries in the Indian Ocean
• Transparent and accountable to all countries
• Secretariat for IOTWS Intergovernmental
  Coordinating Group in Perth, funded by BoM
  Australia

IOGOOS-6 and SIBER
23
IOOOS-6 re-affirmed its intention to adopt
SIBERSIBER will be jointly under IMBER
IOGOOSIOC Perth and IMBER to sponsor SIBER
(similarly to IOP and GOOSCLIVAR)
24

• From the IOGOOS-6 report ...
• ... IOP Business Plan should be developed with
  due reference to and inclusion of SIBER, in
  respect to potential synergies in science
  pursuits and harmonizing the respective sustained
  observing system developments across the IOP and
  SIBER.
• To that end, it is recommended that SIBER
  participate in the development of the IRF at IOP6
  to assist in developing the IRF Business Plan and
  also in order to ensure appropriate
  recommendations for representation of
  bio-geochemical needs in the IRF.

25

• For your ref SIBER, through Dr W Naqvi, NIO,
  India, was encouraged to
• ... make a presentation to the Secretary,
  Ministry of Earth Sciences, requesting the
  Ministrys institutional support for resources to
  progress the SIBER objective of improving the
  network of measurements of ocean carbon through
  the Underway PCO2 system.

Joint IOGOOS/SEAGOOS pilot project titled Ocean
Forecast Demonstration projects in IOGOOS and
SEAGOOS
28
BLUELINK Hydrodynamic model ? global
output Assimilating global data from the Global
Ocean Observing System (GOOS) To give finer
resolution answers near Australia and potentially
beyond To obtain boundary conditions for finer
scale modeling
29
MODELS, PREDICTIONShttp//www.bom.gov.au/oceanogr
aphy/forecasts
Currently for Australia 7-day forecasts T, S,
currents, sea level anomaly 3D 10 km resolution
30
A project to facilitate Bluelinks applicability
and utility for IO has been initiated under
IOGOOS recently extending the conversation to
SEAGOOS
Re-analysis insight for process studies
provision of boundary conditions for finer scale
nested models forecasting for Natural Resource
Management
31
Project status

• Bluelink introduced (by CSIRO) to IOGOOS at
  IOGOOS-5, 2007 Phuket
• IOGOOS members wanted a project (application of
  ocean forecasting systems for IOGOOS member
  states)
• SEAGOOS members then said they wanted the same
  project for SEAGOOS
• Ocean forecasting workshop with GOOS Sci Steering
  Comm meeting Perth, Feb 2009 IO/SEA GOOS
  representation, modellers and users.
• Decision to progress project development for
  IOGOOS SEAGOOS
• Bluelink Australia on board ... But
  .......
• Need users / beneficiaries of such a project
  to provide collaborative resources and data for
  model application and assimilation for eventual
  forecasting
• Currently establishing a project group (IOGOOS,
  SEAGOOS, Bluelink, IOC Perth as a co-sponsor)
• An initial project planning workshop (hopefully
  late 2009) to set specific objectives, consider
  budget, select demonstration areas to apply and
  demonstrate utility of ocean forecasting systems
  ... Build a constituency for the project overall
• ? Malaysia and Indonesia offered themselves as
  initial demo sites
