Australian National WIGOS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (N-
Wip-au)
Bureau of Meteorology
Slide2A framework for integrating WMO observing systems and contributions to co-sponsored observing systems
… for planning, operating and delivering observations to meet user needs,
to enable more efficient and effective service delivery.
WIGOS includes
observing components of:
Global Observing System (WWW/GOS)Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW)WMO Hydrological Observing Systems (WHOS)Global Cryosphere Watch (GCW)Australia to be WIGOS ready:Data quality monitoring – regional/ national process in placeWIGOS station ids – 1000 million ids per country/orgWIGOS Metadata – station and observation metadata available globallyOSCAR – User requirements and space/surface capabilities.Embracing all NMHS-operated observing systems and willing partners
What is WIGOS? WMO Integrated Global Observing System
Slide3A few key WIGOS principles
Design
observing
systems
to
meet
specific
requirements
Requires
structured
inventory
of
requirements
and
existing
and
planned
capabilities
Design observing systems with a view toward synergies between different application areas
Do not install separate systems for weather and climate measuring of e.g. atmospheric temperature
One
observation, many applications, many
users
Space- and surface-based observing networks seen together as one integrated system
Complementary capabilities, designed based on information about what the other component can/will provide
Slide4What do we mean by Integration?
Integrated network design, e.g. across national borders:
Radar and lightning detection networks
Radiosonde networks designed together with those of neighboring countries
Integration across disciplines: Multi-purpose networks
No separate networks for application areas that rely on measurements of the same variables, e.g. weather and climate
Integration across
organizational
boundaries
:
Take advantage of other organizations outside the NMHS that operated observing systems; partner with them where possible
Slide5What do we mean by Integration? (II)
Integration across technological boundaries; space- and surface-based observing system as one
Space-based components provide excellent spatial and temporal coverage
Ground-based components provide fine-scaled structure, in situ validation and can provide measurements not possible from space
Integration across different levels of performance; concept of tiered networks can include e.g.
C
rowd-sourced data, IoT observations (massive amounts of data, poor or unknown quality)
Standard networks; routine, operational quality data
R
eference networks with data traceable to SI standards (fewer data, very high quality)
Slide6WIP #1Management of WIGOS Implementation
DoneCombine all Bureau observing networks under a single Executive Manager
DevelopingFormalise National WIGOS plan for AustraliaCoordination with other agencies which contribute environmental observations to WIGOSExample: Establish an Australian Ocean Observing Partnership (AOOP)
Slide7WIP #2
