WCRP Observation Assmilation Panel

• ToRs
• Identify climate observational requirements
• Help optimize observations
• Act as a focal point for WCRP interactions with
  other groups involved in observations
• Promote and coordinate analysis, reprocessing,
  reanalysis and assimilation
• Promote and coordinate information and data
  management activities, including web sites.

• GCOS Mission
• To ensure that the data required to meet the
  needs of users for climate information are
  obtained and made available for
• Climate system monitoring, climate change
  detection and attribution
• Research, modelling and prediction of the climate
  system
• Assessing impacts, vulnerability adaptation
• Application to sustainable economic development.
• Global, long-term, high-quality, sustainable,
  reliable,

GCOS Implementation

• Reports requested by UNFCCC/Subsidiary Body on
  Scientific and Technical Advice
• GCOS Second Adequacy Report (2003)
• Adequacy of current observing system and
  identification of needed improvements
• GCOS Implementation Plan (2004)
• CEOS
• Commitment to SBSTA (Nov. 2005) for Nov. 2006
  report on response to GCOS Implementation Plan
• Request to GCOS for greater specificity on
  satellite products
• GCOS Expert Meeting on Satellite Requirements for
  Climate
• Meeting of Atmospheric, Oceanic, Terrestrial
  Satellite Experts Jan. 2006 consensus on most
  important products document available on GCOS
