SOOS Workshop Hobart, 15 July 2006 The Joint WMO/IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology: Coordinating Operational Oceanography and Marine Meteorology Globally Peter Dexter Co-President of JCOMM JCOMM Concept and Objectives NWP, maritime services, climate studies, ocean modeling and forecasting, ocean research, all require integrated metocean data and information streams To address these requirements and realize potential benefits, JCOMM jointly sponsored by WMO and IOC Combines and benefits from the strengths and expertise of the met. and ocean communities, avoids duplication of effort User oriented, functions at global, regional and national levels Integrated marine observing, data management and services system; extensive outreach programme An implementation mechanism for global GOOS and marine component of WMO GOS Status, National Input and Support JCOMM is a coordination mechanism only, working at the intergovernmental level Established formally in 1999 through the merger of several existing, long-standing bodies of WMO and IOC Implementation of JCOMM programmes by national agencies and institutions National representation in the work of JCOMM Single national focal point and coordinator for JCOMM High level, to coordinate met and ocean communities and ensure priority and budget for JCOMM activities National members of the Commission Technical experts to support JCOMM work nationally Both met and ocean experts National representation on expert teams and panels Technical experts in specific fields covered by JCOMM JCOMM Structure Integrated Ocean Observing System Ship observations ASAP Sea level Drifting buoy Argo Moorings Observing networks status against agreed GCOS goals for global coverage Total in situ networks 56% February 2006 57% 99% 40% 82% 79% 21% 48% 72% 43% Multi-year Phased Implementation Plan (representative milestones) 2000 Tide Gauges Surface Drifting Buoys Tropical Moored Buoys Ships of Opportunity 2001 2002 2004 2005 101 2006 113 2007 2008 2009 2010 125 140 155 170 51 56 89 89 91 807 671 779 787 1250 1250 1250 975 1250 1250 1250 77 77 79 79 79 23 24 544 Reference Stations 15 29 35 Arctic System 29 0 Dedicated Ship Time 340 0 97 104 115 119 Number of moorings 28 34 45 51 51 51 High resolution and frequently repeated lines occupied 3000 3000 3000 3000 3000 923 1572 2300 31 29 30 0 1 37 30 24 370 370 497 1 1 2 41 42 34 27 497 497 3 7 Number of floats 54 60 78 89 Number of observatories, flux, and ocean transport stations 37 54 64 78 85 Ice buoys, drifting and Moored stations 27 29 31 31 31 Repeat Sections Committed, One inventory per 10 years 531 640 730 830 830 Days at sea (NOAA contribution) 8 9 9 9 9 Product evaluation and feedback loops implemented 49 31 24 Number of buoys 87 26 20 Ocean Carbon Network 27 Real-time Stations Initial GCOS Subset 84 26 Argo Floats System Evaluation 2003 (NOAA contribution) Initial Ocean Observing System Milestones including international contributions Total System 30 34 40 45 2000 2001 2002 2003 48 53 55 66 2004 2005 2006 2007 77 88 100 2008 2009 2010 System % Complete Ocean Observing System Coordination JCOMM directly coordinates major components of the in situ ocean observing system Ocean data buoys through DBCP and Action Groups, including IPAB, GDP, TIP and OceanSITES Ship-based observations through SOT: VOS (including VOSClim), SOOP/XBT, ASAP Sea level observations through GLOSS Current experimental systems and pilot projects will eventually need to be incorporated under an intergovernmental umbrella Argo, gliders, tsunameters, etc Coordination with the satellite operators on data requirements Coordination with regional elements and programmes E-SURFMAR, E-ASAP, Ferrybox, GMES Future coordination with GOOS Regional Alliances Long-term maintenance of the complete system a key issue Basic infrastructure required for operational ocean products and services Key role of JCOMMOPS JCOMMOPS System-wide monitoring and performance reporting Standardized base maps across all networks Show what is required for global coverage against what is presently in place Illustrate gaps in coverage so the gaps can be filled efficiently Show contributions by countries Provide a single access point through JCOMMOPS JCOMM Evaluation Metrics Observing System Status: 2005, Q2.

Ocean Primarily operational, physical ocean and marine meteorology DBCP: S. Ocean barometer drifter network; IPAB; JCOMMOPS support SOT: SOOP, VOS, WRAP Maritime safety services; sea ice services The IPY and its legacy Potential support for observation campaigns – communications, logistics, JCOMMOPS Willing to work with IPY projects to develop plans for long-term maintenance of obs. system components of proven value to operational oceanography and climate monitoring/prediction Eventual intergovernmental umbrella for operational ocean observing system and services for S. Ocean Stress implementation by national agencies; JCOMM provides coordination, standardization, facilitation, reporting, advocacy JCOMM and SOOS Areas of potential support and cooperation between JCOMM and a future SOOS include: Communications for data collection and location – Argos, Iridium, etc Logistics for platform and instrument deployment and maintenance Data exchange, especially real time (protocols, codes, formats, etc) – some capabilities already exist for nonphysical data, and can be readily expanded Data management, through JCOMM/IODE – again, there is some existing capability for non-physical data, which can be built on JCOMMOPS for system and data flow monitoring, metadata, technical support Possible intergovernmental level support JCOMM TEAM
